Kolkata: hould you ever feel bored, simply go to the lost and found section of the Central Industrial Security Force's website and look up Kolkata airport. The list of items that passengers leave behind at the airport is certainly worth a read. Mobiles, including I-Phones, top the list of items left behind by passengers.
A couple of months ago, the CISF took the trouble to list even a yellow 'wedding garland', probably left% behind by newly-weds. It cannot be said for sure whether somebody returned to the airport to collect it but people certainly do when they leave behind their expensive laptops, cameras and mobiles.
"Nearly 80% of people come back to claim their goods. Our efforts have been very successful. A large number of items are left behind by passengers. We don't decide what is important and what isn't. We simply inform people of the things left behind. That is why we started uploading lists on the CISF website," a senior official of the Kolkata airport said.
