West Midlands Police reported that Charna was last seen in January 2019 when he visited City Hospital, Birmingham, after having suffered a fall, and after leaving the hospital, he has not been seen since.
Charna was known to be in poor health, and was known to walk with two sticks, and was suffering from diabetes.
He is described as being 5ft tall and 5ins and would often speak Punjabi.
PC Shaun Reeve, from the force's Missing Persons Review Team, said: "We think Charna would have come to the attention of somebody in the days and weeks after he was last seen.
"He was distinctive due to his mobility and the fact that he used two sticks.
"Charna was known in the area as 'Huggy' and was well known to people around the busier areas of Birmingham and Handsworth.
"It is unlikely he would have travelled far, although we have explored the possibility of local and national travel.
"We hope someone might remember seeing Charna in the days before he went missing and might know more about where he went - we hope we can find him and bring his family some closure in this case."
Anyone who thinks they can help is asked to contact the missing person review team on 01216267003.
