Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared an earnest note after unintentionally keeping a fellow passenger’s charger and plug on an Emirates flight from Delhi to Dubai. The “kind young gentleman” lent the accessories mid-flight, but Sarma, having fallen asleep, couldn’t return them before the co-passenger disembarked. Posting from Amsterdam, Sarma apologised and requested the person to contact him for their return. "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," Biswa said. He added, "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." While many lauded his humility, the incident sparked cybersecurity concerns online. A section of netizens warned about possible juice jacking — a cyberattack where malware can be transferred via USB ports or charging cables, potentially compromising sensitive data. Advising caution, users suggested Sarma have his device checked. ISRO Has Come On-Board To Install an Array of Satellites in Assam, Says CM Himanta Biswa Sarma After Meeting With ISRO Chairman V.
