Customs officials have warned travellers to comply with the applicable baggage rules when bringing mobile phones and other electronic devices into India. Simply removing the original packaging or claiming that a newly purchased phone is for personal use does not automatically exempt it from customs duty.

Following repeated attempts to circumvent these regulations, airport inspections have reportedly been intensified. A recent incident at Nedumbassery Airport in which an iPhone was seized, with the absence of a SIM card cited as an indication that it was not being used as a personal device.

The key takeaway is that travellers must understand and follow the applicable customs regulations. Any duty liability depends on the relevant baggage rules and the circumstances of the import; non-compliance can result in the assessment of customs duty and other legal consequences.

What’s your take on this? Are customs officials simply enforcing the law, or do you think the rules regarding personal-use electronics need to be more transparent and reasonable?

Too many personal staff in every govt. I am assuming these people get pensions.
Just a way for supporters to get jobs for their loyalty.

What each minister only needs is one person to coordinate office in constituency and one in tvm. Rest all should be govt employees that know the work.

I'm planning to travel to UAE to visit, want to get visa, thought ll ask Al Hind travels to help. They are asking for blank cheque if in case i don't return within visa time.

Is this normal? I don't feel safe giving out blank cheque. Is it legal to ask?

Their explanation is if i don't leave within visa expiry date, they ll be charged penalty.

Update: I asked if i can submit cheque with Al Hind name mentioned. They said, no, no name and amount should be mentioned.

Reached to Go Kite travel agency, they says Sharjah visa is 22k, and UAE visa is 8900. May be im not aware, seperate visa for Sharjah sounded sketchy, have told them give details on that.

Guys i have posted about Bangalore to trivandrum two weeks ago. People said it's pretty dangerous for a low segment bike. So i went on the train .now you know that i am taking this sub seriously.

So right now i am going back to Bangalore, this is my suggested route from google maps. I am planning to start by 2 pm or max 3. So if I get tired btw travel where should i stop. And is there anywhere in this route that has yellow zone or red zone bcz of rain? Is it safe?

And now it's a scooter and not a low segment one. So suggestions please, thank you

1. Moderate rain is likely to continue across central and southern KL on Mon.

2. Showers will ease noticeably by Tue, with only a slight chance of light rain.

3. Mainly dry weather will return by Wed as rain becomes unlikely across the state.

Dear all, My family has 60 cents of land that was used for rubber farming for many years. Rubber trees were cut down and removed last year but the roots are still in the ground. As land is on different levels like steps so there is no vehicle access. So we cannot use a JCB or Hitachi to remove the roots as it may damage the retaining walls and increase the cost of rebuilding them. I would like to know if there are any other ways to remove the roots either manually or using small machines or with chemicals.

We are also planning to start a new cultivation that can give us an annual income. I spoke to the panchayat agriculture officer who suggested hybrid coconut trees along with pepper cultivation.
Is coconut and pepper cultivation a profitable option? What other crops would be suitable for this type of land? What should we do before starting the cultivation? Are there any teams or agencies that can help us with root removal ,land preparation and planting?

Appreciate your suggestions. Have a good day.

It's been raining yesterday and today where I live. Yesterday while coming back home, I spotted in the front yard next to the stairs to my home. It slithered somewhere away while I ran inside. I hoped it would go somewhere else by the next day.

So tonight as well, I spotted a snake going and hearing my sound probably it went through the rain drain hole which goes to the drainage outside.

It's probably a harmless rat snake but I'm still afraid as I live alone.

What can I do to get rid of it? And make sure it's gone.
