New Delhi: Every year, Rs 10 crore worth of laptops, mobile phones and handbags among other items have to be auctioned by various airports as passengers who have left them behind do not come to claim them. To tide over the problem, CISF has now begun uploading details of all lost items at airports on its website on a daily basis.
Through a "lost and found" icon one can look at all the belongings which have been found left behind at a particular airport on a certain day. The webpage not only lists items but also puts up their description. A perusal of the list of items shows that people mostly leave behind mobile phones and laptops.
"With an integrated security system in place at most airports, we are now able to quickly find lost items and even trace stolen ones. Unfortunately, only half of these items are restored to passengers as most do not come back to claim lost belongings.
