Finally, NRI couple meet kids in Norway

OSLO: The parents of two Indian-origin children held in Norway under protective care on Friday had an emotional re-union with their kids and hoped that the family's suffering would end soon, months after the issue triggered a diplomatic row.

NRI couple, Anurup and Sagarika Bhattacharya, met their children Abhigyan, 3, and Aishwarya, 1, for two hours after a gap of three months at the foster home in Stavanger under close observation of child welfare authorities. The meeting took place in the presence of the kids' uncle Arunabhash, a social services representative and a member of the foster family temporarily caring for the children.

"Our children were very happy to see us. The meet was really good. Abhigyan hugged me tight," a visibly happy Anurup said.
