Honesty of porters

Monday, 1 April 2019


A few days back, one of my relatives was coming to Dhaka from Chottagram by train. He got off at Dhaka Airport Rail Station. Later, he realised that in a haste he had forgotten one of his bags in the train compartment. At first, he thought it is of no use searching the luggage. When I insisted, he decided to go with me to Kamlapur Railway Station and try his luck.
As we reached Kamlapur Railway Station after an hour, we asked a few porters. They informed us that they got one unclaimed bag. We went to the luggage section and found our bag intact.
The honesty of porters surprised us. They could easily take away the bag. They are hardworking people who hate to earn and feed their family in a dishonest way. Later, I gave them some reward for their honestly and they were very happy.
There are many good people in our country who are happy and satisfied with their honest earning.
