    I'm so happy that on 30th December we can travel on the road without any fear. These autos are really a pain most of the time.

    That was a very cynical comment by Mr. Kamath. Auto s offer good service to the community in mangalore unlike in other places such as blore. Think about all the patients who need to use the autos.Autos are not the only hazards that we have on roads. What about potholes, kids speeding on motorbikes, erratic walking.crossing habits of pedestrians? I think the autos are justified for once this time. You cannot expect them to travel from one corner of the city to another without having refilling stations.
