New Delhi: India's table tennis star Manika Batra's missing baggage has been found and delivered to her on Wednesday. Manika thanked Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and his office for their "prompt" action.
Manika lost her baggage containing sports equipment, while returning home from a tournament in Peru in a KLM Airlines flight and had sought help from the government to recover it.
"Thank you so much @JM_Scindia sir and his office for prompt action and helping me in getting my baggage. I have received it this morning," Batra wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
On Tuesday evening, after Manika sought help from the Union Minister, his office said, "Hi, the suitcase has been placed into the container bound for Delhi. We anticipate its arrival on today's flight, scheduled to land at 01:55 tomorrow."
The world No. 35 Manika said she was travelling in business class in the Dutch flag carrier and never expected to lose baggage with priority tag.
Manika was coming back to India after playing in a WTT Contender tournament in Lima via Amsterdam.
