Jammu, Sep 2 (PTI) A minor girl from Uttar Pradesh was reunited with her family by police in Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, an official said.

While conducting routine patrolling, personnel from the Ramban police station noticed the girl wandering in the market area. Observing her in a disturbed state, the officers, accompanied by a lady police official, approached her and inquired about her identity and presence in the area, a police spokesperson said.
