An interesting #Thread!
A couple of days back, I was tagged by @aparanjape to help @Vporia (whom I hadn't known earlier), whose 83-year old father had left behind his laptop bag in the Nizamuddin-Vasco express, while getting down at Pune station on 10th August. #IndianRailways
A couple of days back, I was tagged by @aparanjape to help @Vporia (whom I hadn't known earlier), whose 83-year old father had left behind his laptop bag in the Nizamuddin-Vasco express, while getting down at Pune station on 10th August. #IndianRailways
Receiving such a request more than a week after it happened makes the location of the lost item a little difficult. I decided to give it a chance and posted the travel details of her father, Mr.K.B.L.Saxena, along with a brief description of the item in the ADRMs #WhatsApp group.
Being the ADRM-I of the Chennai division in @GMSRailway, I am also a member of a WhatsApp group that connects the ADRMs in almost all the 68 divisions of #IndianRailways. I tagged ADRM/Pune who told me that the item would have gone with the train to Vasco da Gama station, #Goa.
But Mrs.Neelam Saxena, ADRM/Pune, took interest and informed the counterpart of the Hubbali division (@drmubl) as the Vasco da Gama station falls in his jurisdiction. She got the message that the bag had been located by the Carriage maintenance staff, who had given it to the RPF.
Mrs.Saxena also gave me the numbers of the Carriage Depot officer and the RPF Inspector at Vasco station, Mr.Ritish Kumar, which I promptly messaged to @Vporia. She contacted the RPF Inspector who probably informed her about how the bag can be collected from him at Vasco station.
The bag is to be collected by a friend of @Vporia from the RPF Inspector and it is likely to reach her and her father probably by tomorrow. It's a story about how one tweet could activate a network of senior officers to look for one precious item left behind in a train.
I am happy that I could be of some help, even if the incident didn't take place in my jurisdiction. I'm sharing this incident so that people may still repose some amount of trust in the services of public authorities. Thanks to all those who helped locate the bag! #IndianRailways
