    Gold ceased in Airports where they will store? In this manner GOLD reserve of India must increase yearly to maximum. At last only batwara or going to treasury?

    How come these people keep smuggling the gold and go into loss ? They are not aware of the daily news getting published in social media ??? They can purchase gold here with the same amount....do these people are uneducated so that they can't read news ? Hitting on our own legs by our own axe....really surprising

    The rates are lower in gulf. If you can smuggle one kg of Gold, you can earn 4.75 lakhs approx. But if you do not have resources to buy 1 kg gold, there are people who give you 1 kg gold in various forms and you get straight 1 lakh when you hand over the gold in Mangalore. Moreover, 24K gold from Dubai fetches more rate in India. Out of 100 mules who carry gold, only 2 or 3 get caught.

    Cynthia Kirem,these people must have thought ,gold in mouth cant be detected,as well in Foot wear.Our customs are washed in all waters and find gold not only in mouth but inside the A.. or intestine tooSuper maschines too are working without any influence.Gold collected here I heard can be taken by paying taxes,or will be kept in Treasures ,But many times treasures too have some wholes where many times ,gold goes missing .may be some ants?(with two legs?)

    This is one of the 'pros' of privatization. Airport employees are monitored on their efficiency and rewarded as well for their performance. No lethargic and casual attitude. If you have noticed recently in comparison to the past, the 'check in ' staff and other members are extra nice in greeting people. They smile ear to ear .
