Our dedicated team handled 147 new cases this month, including: 56 deaths, 33 hospitalisations, 31 welfare issues, 14 arrests and detentions,12 missing persons and other case types such as victim of crims and child welfare. Among these, 2 were related to road traffic accidents, making a total of 32 such cases so far this year.
