An 80-year-old man in Bangladesh has been reunited with his nearly 100-year-old mother after about 70 years with the help of social media, AFP reported.
As per details, Abdul Kuddus Munsi in his childhood was sent to live with his uncle but lost touch with his family after running away and being adopted by two sisters.
“This is the happiest day of my life,” the 82-year-old said from Brahmanbaria, the eastern border district where he was born in 1939.

In April, a businessman shared a video of Kuddus on Facebook, requesting help finding his parents. Kuddus only remembered the name of his parents and his village from the first decade of his life.
A distant relative in the village spotted the post and informed Kuddus that his mother, Mongola Nessa, thought to be in her late 90s, was still alive.
So Kuddus — himself a father to three grown-up sons and five daughters — travelled about 350 kilometers (220 miles) from the western city of Rajshahi, to end the decades of estrangement.
