Unclaimed luggage raises 40 alerts at Mumbai airport in two months

Mumbai: Negligent and careless behaviour of airline passengers have been giving security agencies at Mumbai airport nightmares. Sources inside the security agencies manning Mumbai Airport have revealed that in the past two months officials have carried out 40 search exercises due to unclaimed baggage lying at the airport.
The latest occurrence was on Monday evening when an unclaimed piece of luggage near the departures gate at the International terminal triggered panic. Fearing a bomb threat, the Mumbai police, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the bomb squad were called in. However, examinations revealed that the bag contained nothing suspicious. Similarly, on September 16, a woman's handbag and another bag with baby items triggered off alarm bells and on September 9, CISF and bomb squads were deployed again when unclaimed baggage was found.
