    So far we have heard of so many cases where customs are catching people with gold stuffed within prominent exit points of their personal effects at Mlore airport. So wonder why these people still attempt to smuggle gold knowing that they can be caught… they need to explore other airports!

    Very soon checking at such exit points of all passengers may become mandatory at Mlore airport!

    Prime Minister Modi's friend Adani will be the happiest person to win the Mangalore Airport Contract who won the bid without the "mandatory consultations” with states were not held before Centre reached the decision.
    According to a media report, the civil aviation ministry informed a Rajya Sabha committee about due process not being followed on Dec 27 and Dec 28 last year. The need for a response by the civil aviation ministry on the matter was necessitated by a petition from a Kolkata-based resident Saptarishi Deb to Rajya Sabha, in which he had sought details of the agreement between Centre and Adani Enterprises.
    It was quite strange that the Adani group having 'zero experience' handling airport operations comparing to the other bidders was able to win the rights to all the five airports.
