Exclamation Brutally Imported

This is how your brand new private vehicle worth lakhs and crores are imported, docked and handled on Indian shores.

A special thanks to Ms. Alka Gupta who permitted me to use these images publicly.

PS: Please let me make this very clear that the people you see in the pics are STUDENTS on industrial visit to the dock. THEY ARE NOT ANY CUSTOM OFFICERS

disgusting to the core.

but wouldn't this be applicable to everything that's imported ? official or unofficial ? what can you do when people who work at customs do this ?

Hold your horses dear. Because of those people you are seeing all this. they are the ones who were there and provided the pics. it very easy to hop on a bike where no body is there to care about or for their security. that's the whole idea of the thread. if they can, anyone can fiddle with your new "would be" car or bike

edit: the pics are quite fresh but there is a possibility that these are the vehicle which are illegally imported or fail to comply with import norms and hence are confiscated or dumped. quite possible.

This is the way everything functions in this country. Look at the filth around us! Look at the scant respect.

Default Why am I not surprised?

that's what na. Everything here is done with such disregard and disgust. Why can't people love their jobs! Heck I was at the CST airport police station the other day for some work and i was shocked to find a 3ft. x 1ft. bright red pan stain on the walls. Not to mention the rest of the garbage and crap in that station. When the care-takers of the law work with such a callous attitude can we expect anything greater from the government? Sadly, I gotta admit I still haven't registered to become a voter. But after all this, I'm determined now.

Now where's that jaagore.com site?...

P.S.: I do not have photo proof of that police station for obvious reasons.
