Left Luggage at Railway Stations

Next time, try wrapping up the backpack with a light chain (easily bought on the ground in India, often sold by street vendors outside larger stations, padlocks as well) through its various flaps and stuff, then lock that with a or several padlock(s). Should do the trick. Lock any zippers that are lockable with their own mini-padlocks, of course.

I know in the past the rule might be overlooked; but earlier this year my impression was they were pretty adamant about your luggage needing to be locked yes.

My guess is it's just to stop you whining later anything was taken from it.
