    These people are low income workers and just transporters of Gold in exchange for a few thousands of rupees.. The actual Gold belongs to one of the major Gold showroom owner !

    So much of Gold has been seized in Mangalore airport since last two years. Could anyone tell me where is that Gold going after the court case? I must say Kasaragod is playing a major role to Develop Indian economy.

    I think Kasargod is the Gold town of India. The gold, which is seized should be used towards Airport taxes so the tax burden on other passengers is less.

    hey lancer ,
    if Kasargod people are banned from Mangalore airport , then the airport has to shut down in a year or two .As most of the international passengers belongs from Kasargod .

    Ye duniya bhi ajeeb hai...
    Everybody dreams for something better in life.People go to distant gulf countries,other countries in search of earning bread and to fulfil their dreams.Whatever they do is by hard working.Gold buying and bring it to India is treated as illegal as long as it is done without payment of tax.Otherwise, what is wrong in doing so?Let govt simplify the gold bringing procedure by NRIs by charging minimum tax.Big scams in this happen in this country from to time involving thousands of croes of rupees and people are not bothered about that.Only legitimate citizens suffer due to an ill conceived policy of the govt.

    Bringing high volume of goods for commercial purpose is Illegal,
    and also Taking bribery by customs officers from helpless passengers is legal? A few years ago, almost every single passenger who landed in Mumbai airport have this bribe experience..

    Please ban passengers from Kasargod entering or leaving from Mangalore airport. Otherwise built a separate airport at Kasaragod for these smugglers.
