    These killer iron ore trucks have to banned from the roads immediately. Our greedy politicians exist only to take bribes from the mine owners. They just do not care about ordinary citizens. I hope some politician and his family gets killed by these mine trucks.

    These ore trucks have killed enough people through rash driving and accidents and have damaged the roads too making it difficult for other road users. Please put a ban on these ore trucks and introduce trains to transport the ore which will be much safer, cheaper and less distructive to all of us. The Government is not showing any signs of stopping this menace, instead have been hand in glove with the miners wasting public money in repairing the roads for these ore trucks and making money there too with substandard work.

    Come on Mangalore, it is time to wake up before we all get mauled by these dare devil trucks.
