Man missing on return from abroad safely reunites with family in Sivaganga

SIVAGANGA A family in a village near Sivaganga experienced relief and joy after a man who went missing while returning home from abroad safely reunited with his relatives. Periyasamy, 42, of Ayyampatti had moved to Armenia two years ago for work, taking on loans to support his family, which includes his wife Muneeswari and two daughters. On October 19, he boarded a flight from Armenia to Dubai on his journey back home.

However, communication abruptly ceased once he reached Dubai. A week ago, his wife submitted an official plea at the Sivaganga Collectorate urging authorities to trace and rescue him, prompting District Collector P. Akash to step in and coordinate assistance.

Before authorities could complete their search, Mr. Periyasamy arrived safely at his doorstep. Explaining the ordeal, his brother Murugan said that Periyasamy had initially flown from Dubai to Kolkata because direct flights to Chennai were unavailable.
