Daijiworld Media Network - Beltangady (MS)

Beltangady, Jul 2: In the present days of rampant cheating and deceit, certain individuals stand head and shoulder above the rest and display the basic human values. In one such act of honesty, an auto driver returned the valuables he found on the side of the road to the rightful owner. This incident occurred on Saturday, June 30.

Podimonu alias Hameed (55), a resident of Sunnatkere of this taluk is the person who has come in for lavish praise for his honesty. He is an auto driver at Guruvayanakere. While he was taking a passenger to a village called Parappu, he saw a bag containing gold worth Rs 2 lac, some cash and one mobile phone on the road.

He promptly lifted the bag and switched on the mobile phone, which was in the switch-off mode. Once he managed to make the contact, he returned all the valuables to Prema, a resident of Balnadu village of Puttur.

    Mr. Hamid may be a rickshaw driver. He may be economically poor but he has proven that he is much richer than all the wealthy people who may not have the heart of gold this man possesses. I humbly bow down to this great man and salute him from the bottom of my heart. His children are really lucky to have such an honest father. God bless you Sir.

    I join scores of people in complementing this auto driver for his honesty in finding the owner of the lost valuables and returning the same to him.

    Podimonu alias Hameed (55), a resident of Sunnatkere deserves all praise. The owner of the valuables should make sure that he be given a deserving gift. That apart the Government should make a note of the honesty of the person concerned and ensure that he is given a suitable recognition on republic day.

    The best part is he directly handed over the stuff to Prema instead of approaching the police and vice-versa.

    This is the second time (or more) someone (from Muslim community) is exhibiting exemplar way of delivering lost valuable things to the right owners.

    I think rightful owner should reward at least 5% to these honest people compulsorily...
    That should be a good to start with rewarding honesty...
