BHUBANESWAR: In an act of integrity, sanitation workers of a micro-composting centre in the city on Monday returned the gold ring of a person found from the garbage dump.
BMC officials said a gold ring weighing around 6 gram was found by the sanitation workers of the wealth centre at Unit 8 while they were sorting and processing the waste brought to the facility after door-to-door garbage collection in ward no 39.
The ring was then returned to its rightful owner in presence of swachhata supervisor and other sanitation officials.
In a similar incident in December last year, sanitation staff of a wealth centre had found and returned a 15 gram gold chain to a woman staying in a hostel in Infocity area. The lady informed the civic authorities that she had thrown the chain in the garbage bin by mistake.
