Dimapur, April 17 (EMN): In an exemplary show of dedication to duty and honesty, Md. Jahid, a Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI) of Katihar division of NF Railway, found a wallet full of cash belonging to a passenger of 15959 Up Howharh – Dibrugarh Kamrup Express, which was returned in full on April 12. Describing the incident, Tarun Kedia of Kolkata, who was travelling in B-1 coach of the train, said that he had left the wallet in the toilet of his coach in the morning of April 12 unmindfully.

Jahid came to him and handed over the wallet with the entire amount of money intact. There was INR 23,000 in the wallet, Kedia said and praised the TTI and Railways for the pleasant experience. According to Md. Jahid, he was on duty from Malda to New Jalpaiguri on that day. A lady passenger approached him at Telta station, who had found the wallet in the toilet. There was a Voter’s ID Card inside the wallet and some cash, he said. With the help of the name on the ID Card, he located the passenger’s seat number from the Reservation Chart that he carried. He then located the passenger in the coach and after ascertaining his identity and satisfying himself of the ownership of the wallet, he handed over the wallet to the passenger. Md. Jahid remarked that it was a satisfying experience to serve people with honesty as the accolades showered on him by the passengers would be the most valuable treasure of his life.
