Yesterday, airport security officials went into a tizzy after they spotted an abandoned bag opposite the Jet Airways check-in counter. But the ‘suspicious’ bag turned out to be full of pomegranates after the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) opened it.
Around 11am on Sunday, the abandoned bag was spotted by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which immediately alerted the BDDS. The bag was near one of the pillars close to a toy shop. According to Standard Operating Procedure, no passenger movement was allowed until the bag was declared safe.
Two of the six BDDS personnel wore bomb suits and cordoned off the area. After taking the necessary precautions, they opened the bag, only to find pomegranates in it. An airport official present at the spot explained, “The bag had nothing more than thirty pomegranates in it, hence it was declared safe.
