    Other than kasargod, one more factor is common here and regular one here. I know its difficult to swallow.

    Why do these people indulge in such smuggling activities? Just because of a handfull , other innocent passengers are harassed as well. Why cant this Kasargodians fly from and land in Kannur.? and save the rest of the passengers going thru an ordeal of humiliation. You cannot blame Adani all the time if customer officers are querying and scanning passengers with more intensity. When you have such elements using our airport, its justified.

    I think the airport authorities should have a separate counter for Kasaragod or Kerala bound passengers. This will discourage them to use Mangalore airport and might opt for Kannur in the future.

    Under the liberalized scheme, Indians can remit through banking channels US $ 250,000 (Approximately Rs: 2 crores) per year for any permissible transaction. Indian visitors to foreign countries, can purchase through banks or authorized agents US $ 3000 or equivalent foreign currency and officially can carry it while going. Other than that, if one wants, he can send any amount of currency of relevant country, to a person in foreign country by paying rupees in cash, which is called hawala and illegal, but it is going on rampantly in cities. Some of the big jewellers are dealing with it in Mumbai and elsewhere with a commission.. I know it, since, we have sent by this method through a jeweller in Mumbai.
