Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has developed a mobile phone application for passengers to make it easier for them to trace their lost valuables in Delhi Metro or airports across country. Senior officials said that the app has been designed and will soon be launched for public access.

Hemendra Singh, AIG and PRO, CISAF, told DNA that the application has been designed keeping in mind public convenience. At present, the facility is available on the force's website. "The new app has been designed and developed in-house by the team of EDP/Tech branch. It is particularly useful in restoring the lost valuables and other missing items of passengers at the airports and Delhi metro," Singh said.

Loss and recovery of valuables is a major issue when it comes to the CISF recovering valuables from airports across country and in Delhi metro. In 2017 alone, travellers in metro left behind Rs 70,73,802 cash, cheque and draft worth Rs 4,84,477, 364 mobile phones, 130 laptops, 110 watches, 567 silver ornaments, 25 gold jewellery items among other valuables.

"Even at the airport, many passengers forget their valuables in check-in areas and mostly in the boarding areas. When such left behind valuables are spotted by CISF officials on duty, they are added to the loss and found property and are submitted with the competent authority. In many cases passengers have returned claiming the item and have got it back. However, those who board the flight, it was difficult to return and claim their valuables," Singh said, adding that now, if someone leaves something behind, he can update the force about it on the app and the item is collected immediately from the identified spot.
