The “lost and found” section of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata has been bustling with activity, thanks to the forgetful flyers who have left behind a surprising array of items this year. From paratha-filled casseroles to gold bangles, whisky bottles to religious idols, and cheese blocks to wedding sherwanis, the list of abandoned belongings is nothing short of astonishing.
Passengers have managed to misplace their items at various spots within the airport, including security counters, food and beverage outlets, retail stores, and lounges. The hurried stop for a quick bite, a moment to read, or a nap before a flight has led to these accidental losses. Additionally, some travelers have even forgotten their possessions on the flight seats or at the airport’s curbs after disembarking from their cabs.
