    Its absurd! Big time that public revolt against these shameful acts. Its spoiling the name of Mangalore airport at a national or international level. Innocents too are picked on random basis for complete check up .The ordeal is humiliating . We cannot go on silently supporting and patronizing this . Also , Modi or Adani cannot be blamed in justifying smuggling in Private parts. Come on!
