A Facebook group has helped an Andhra-origin NRI reconnect with her long-lost sister after almost four decades. Jyothi Edla Rudrapathi, now based in the U.S., never met or heard from her sister Kamala after the latter married a Mizoram CRPF constable in 1980 and moved to Mizoram. On July 15, she posted a request on Mizoram News, a Facebook group, seeking help from its members in locating her sister. Ms. Kamala was located at Lawipu on the outskirts of Aizawl hours after the post was widely shared on social media. Ms. Rudrapathi told local publications that her brother-in-law, from Mizoram’s Sialsuk village, married her sister when he was posted in Andhra Pradesh.
