Very Unfortunate and shocked to see cunning way to import golds via Mangaluru Airport. How do Customs confine action on culprits here. We are seeing gold smugglers activity on high rise and Mangaluru Airport does have easy way out?/ Authority involved and influence easy passthrough? Our Elected represenatives must call for immediate ban on these activities if locals are involved here. Awareness program is definately call for the hour in Mangaluru Airport.
