An Amdavadi widow had a bitter flying experience last Friday. She could not find her baggage having marriage memoirs after landing at Ahmedabad airport.
The unfortunate incident happened with Savitri Agarwal on November 20. She took a JetLite flight from Delhi to reach the city. All was well till she reached the luggage conveyor belt. She was shocked to not to find her bag in which she stacked the jewellery of her marriage, some cash and a few saris, worth around Rs 3 lakh.
Two days on, the diabetic woman is hopeful of getting back her marriage memoirs. The airline’s officials are still clueless about her baggage, though.
According to Akshat Agarwal, grandson of Savitri, the airline officials initially refused to acknowledge that Savitri’s baggage was misplaced.
When Akshat went to the airline’s office in the airport on Sunday, he was told that the bag was still untraceable. The officials on duty told him that the airline’s offices at all airports in India had been apprised off the lost bag through e-mails.
“The airline’s officials also told me that in case they fail to locate my grandmother’s bag by November 26, they will compensate me. But I found their compensation policy on the basis of weight of the bag ridiculous. I was told I will be paid Rs 450 per kg. Are they kidding? I don’t want that money,” said Akshat.
