A potentially tense episode at Guwahati’s Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport concluded positively when a bag containing foreign currency was returned to its owner. The bag, valued at over Rs 10.14 lakh, was found during a security screening, the airport, managed by Adani Airport Holdings Limited, reported.

Adhering to protocol, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) handed the unattended bag to Lost & Found officials. Inside were approximately $10,720, 175 Chinese yuan, medications, and other personal items. Airport personnel identified the passenger after reviewing CCTV footage and, with the help of authorities in Hyderabad, successfully returned the bag.
