Jaago Mangaloreans Jaago!
Govt should do something to stop this kind of daylight robbery from airports. and should stop toll booth also
This is not fare.. If they are taking charge for parking, they should ensure the safety of the vechles also
In airports evrything is costly. As per Indian rule, MRP will be the last higher price and more than that should not be charged. But for 35 rs soft drink they are charging 45 to 50. for 15 rupees biscuit they are charging 30 rupees.
This people are making lakhs of income in month by coming from outside and we idiots are fighting each other about religion
Why this parking has been given to the north indians as in contract, why cant we locals take this parking and run this.. what do say guys? and this people are so arrogent they think that we are outsiders and they are locals
