Kashmiri cab driver returns tourist’s bag with lakhs worth of cash & gold

A Kashmiri cab driver is being praised and felicitated for his honesty as he returned the bag of a tourist. The tourist was carrying cash and jewellery worth Rs. 10 lakh in the lost bag.
The driver, Tariq Ahmad from south Kashmir’s Shopian district, found the bag at tourist spot Aharbal in Shopian and returned it to its owner who turned out to be a tourist.

Tariq Returned The Belongings Untouched

Interestingly, Tariq also found three smartphones in the bag which were returned to the owner untouched.
As per reports, the cab driver waited for the call of the owner on one of the phones that were in the bag. Consequently, he managed to find the owner and provided him with the lost belongings.

Netizens Were All Praises For The Cab Driver

Tariq’s honesty has been highly praised by the netizens who termed him the real ambassador of Kashmir as far as tourism is concerned.

Deputy Commissioner Shopian, while appreciating the cab driver, also felicitated him in his office.
One of the members of the drivers’ association, that Tariq is a part of, says, “Tariq is a really great man. He did this out of his own goodness without expecting any rewards.”

Tariq – A Role Model For Kashmir Tourism

Tourism players in the Valley also hailed the driver’s honesty and said that the driver should be a role model for everyone else who wants to make all Kashmiris proud.
Pertinently, a young Kashmiri tour guide, named Rouf Ahmad Dar, died saving a Calcutta couple and three other tourists from drowning last month on a Friday afternoon, prompting him to be hailed as a hero and an exemplar of the great tradition of Kashmiri hospitality.
Rouf, aged in his 20s, was on a raft negotiating Pahalgam’s Lidder stream when gusty winds caused it to capsize.

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
