Airport ordeal for mum and toddler

An Indian mother and her toddler were due to leave Bahrain International Airport last night, after being stranded there for 24 hours because the woman left her daughter's passport in India.
P Naziath, 19, arrived at the airport at around 10.30pm on Friday on an Indian airlines flight with her 18-month-old daughter P Janna Fathima.
They came here to visit Mrs Naziath's husband Azeel Kalathil, who works as a messenger at a bank.However, the mother realised her daughter's passport was missing when they reached the immigration desk in Bahrain.
The Indian Embassy was informed and was able to track down the passport with the help of staff at Kozhikode International Airport, who found it under a seat in the airport lounge where she was sitting before departure. However, Bahraini authorities refused to let the woman and child enter Bahrain yesterday morning - despite the embassy promising the passport would be presented to them as soon as it was brought to Bahrain.
The passport arrived in Bahrain at 10.30pm last night after a pilot on the next flight brought it to Bahrain.
