Some good deeds do happen

I would like to place on record a good deed done especially during these troubled and corrupt days. On a recent trip to Bandarawela and Haputale, I had unknowingly left behind my sling bag on the platform of the Haputale Railway Station. The Station Master wired a message to the next station Idalgashinna inquiring if we had left any luggage behind. It was then that I realized that my pink sling bag was missing.

The guard who was helpful and courteous had sent a message to Haputale asking them to put my bag on the next train the ‘Podimenike’. But it was not on that train when we went to meet it. After a person known to me from Bandarawela phoned the Station Master at Haputale, I was told that my bag was safe in his custody. I phoned the SM Haputale and he kindly agreed to hand it over to my friend from Bandarawela.

Thank you SM and well done Railway Department.
