Alert airport staffer returns lost dollars worth 2L to passenger
Ahmedabad: Jyotsanaba Parmar, a member of the housekeeping staff at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPIA) showed that honesty exists even today. Parmar's integrity never wavered when fate tested her.
During her early morning duty, Parmar spotted a package with US dollars, forgotten by a passenger near boarding Gate No. 8 of the international terminal. The money came to around Rs 1.5-2 lakh, equivalent to almost a year's salary for Parmar. Without hesitation, Parmar immediately alerted the nearest CISF personnel and informed her supervisor about the lost package. Acting swiftly, CISF members reviewed the CCTV footage and worked with airport staff to identify its rightful owner.
After thorough verification and identification of the concerned male passenger, the lost cash was returned to him just before he boarded his flight.
Airport officials lauded Parmar's conduct, describing her as a 'Champion of Goodwill'. An airport source confirmed that she will be duly rewarded for her exemplary service.
