'Just want our daughter back safe': Family's wait grows longer as MBA student remains missing for 12 days

As rescue teams continue their massive search operation in the rugged mountains of Uttarkashi, one family in Ramnagar is living through an endless wait. For them, the story is no longer about a missing trekker, it is about a daughter, a granddaughter and a sister whose absence has left an entire household shattered. Twenty-four-year-old Babita Pandey, an MBA student, went missing during a trek to Dayara Bugyal on May 30. Despite days of searching by multiple agencies, there has been no trace of her.
