Geeta, the deaf and mute girl who returned to India yesterday over a decade after inadvertently crossing into Pakistan, was accorded a grand welcome at the Ahilyabai Holkar airport here tonight.

Former State Minister Archita Chitnis, Indore Mayor Malini Gaud and several other political leaders received her. From the airport, she was taken to the premises of the institution for hearing-impaired where she would be staying for time being. At the institute, she was greeted by children who were eagerly waiting for her arrival.

At the function organised by the institute to welcome her, Union Social Justice Minister Thawarchand Gehlot, who accompanied her to the city from New Delhi, assured that the government will extend all possible help to Geeta for her future life.

Geeta, who had accidentally crossed over to Pakistan over a decade ago, had returned here to a grand welcome yesterday.
