HONESTY STILL ALIVE
Railway staff’s alertness helps passenger recover lost cash worth ₹1.75 lakh
Ferozepur, October 5, 2025: In a remarkable display of honesty and prompt action, railway staff at Amritsar station ensured the safe return of a passenger’s valuable belongings.
On October 4, a passenger travelling on Train No. 15707 accidentally left behind nearly ₹1.75 lakh in cash, which was kept inside a pillow cover. After realising the mistake upon deboarding, he immediately contacted the railway authorities.
Conductor Rakesh Kumar Sharma and Ticket Checking Staff Satish Kumar swiftly checked the coach and recovered the pillow cover with the cash intact. The money was later handed over to RPF staff in the presence of CIT officers Hardev Singh and K.P. Singh for safe return to the passenger.
Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Paramdeep Singh Saini commended the staff for their vigilance and integrity, while appealing to passengers to take special care of their cash, mobiles, and valuables during train journeys.
