          Bazar, Apr 30 (UNB) – An ill-fated father got back his missing boy
          after nine years to the surprise of their fellow-villagers. 
           
          
          
           
          Mohammad
          Ali, then a five-year-old boy, went missing with his family members,
          except his father Helal Bahaddar, from their Saraitala village in
          Moheshkhali when a devastating cyclone hit the country’s coastal
          belt on April 29, 1991. 
             
          Helal
          Bahaddar, a fisherman, had searched his family members -– his wife,
          five daughters and two sons – for long, but all his efforts went in
          vain. 
           
          
          
           
          Although
          he married again after the tragedy, a frustrated Helal never gave up
          the hope of getting back his family members. 
             
          One
          day, Helal came to know that a missing boy was living at Badarkhali
          village in Chakoria thana and he rushed to the village on April 20 and
          recovered his missing son.
