The social media once again showed its power as the lost bag of resident of Skardu, Shabbir Hussain, was found and delivered to him on Sunday.

In a video, shared on social media, Hussain appealed from social media users and Pakistanis to find his lost bag. “I was coming to Skardu from Islamabad yesterday and near Chillas I lost my bag,” he said, adding that his educational documents and medical record of his father who is being treated for the brain tumor are in that bag.

“Without those documents and medical records, his treatment will be stopped,” said the Skardu resident.

“I request all the social media users and my fellow citizens to help me in finding that bag as it has my number on it and anyone who finds it can contact me or send the bag to some goods transport office,” he said. “I will be really thankful,” said the emotional Hussain.
