Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday expressed gratitude while he returned the mobile charger of a man he borrowed while travelling recently to Dubai from Delhi in an Emirates aircraft.<\/p>\n

Taking to X, CM Sarma wrote, “Today, I returned the mobile charger I had borrowed from Deepak Kapoor, my fellow passenger on the Delhi-Dubai flight in his Noida Residence and offered his family an Assamese Gamocha as a token of gratitude. It brought me immense satisfaction.”<\/p>\n

“Deepak had given me the mobile charger without knowing anything about me. His selfless act touched me deeply, and I felt compelled to honour that rare kindness. I wanted to ensure that his spirit of helping a stranger lives on — a small tribute to a truly generous soul,” he added.<\/p>\n

In the previous week, while boarding the flight of Dubai from Delhi, CM Sarma noted that he was travelling without a phone charger.<\/p>\n
A young man sitting beside him noticed and, without hesitation, offered his international plug and charging cable.<\/p>\n
It was a small but significant act of kindness, the kind that connects strangers in fleeting yet meaningful ways.<\/p>\n
With a smile and a nod of appreciation, CM Sarma accepted the help and plugged in his device.<\/p>\n
The journey continued smoothly, and as exhaustion set in, CM Sarma drifted off to sleep.<\/p>\n
Hours later, the Chief Minister woke up to find that the plane had landed in Dubai, and the fellow passenger in his flight had exited the plane.<\/p>\n
In the rush of disembarkation, amid the movement of passengers, baggage, and airport announcements, one crucial detail had slipped past him: he still had the charger and cable in his possession.<\/p>\n
The young man had left without reclaiming them, unaware that his small gesture of kindness would lead to an unexpected twist in the journey.<\/p>\n
In Amsterdam, CM Sarma found himself filled with regret.<\/p>\n
“Today morning I travelled on an Emirates flight from Delhi to Dubai, where a kind young gentleman lent me his international plug and charging cable. Unfortunately, he disembarked in Dubai while I was asleep, and I couldn’t return them. I’ve just now arrived in Amsterdam and feel deeply apologetic for not returning his belongings. If this message reaches him, please send me a direct message so I can arrange to return your charger and cable promptly. Thank you for your kindness, and I regret any inconvenience caused @emirates,” the Chief Minister wrote on X.<\/p>\n
CM Sarma also enlisted the help of the Assam Police, who immediately began working to identify the man.<\/p>\n
