Forgotten baggage leads to scare

Mumbai: Two forgotten pieces of luggage at terminal 1A of the Mumbai airport led to tension on the eve of the 60th Independence Day. Since both incidents took place during peak hours and led to the area being cordoned off, passenger movement was affected for a while.
According to airport sources, the two pieces were spotted within an hour of each other. "The bomb detection and disposal squad (BDDS) was called in and the area was cordoned off. The bags contained a mobile phone charger and clothes," said Sanjay Prakash, senior commandant of the Central Industrial Security Force, which guard the facility. Since the bags contained harmless articles, no significance was attached to the incident, Prakash added.
