Rickshaws to agree to meters if they get 100% increase (for 1st Km.) - from ₹15 to ₹30 - and subsequent Km. from ₹12 to ₹15.

Trouble is rickshaw (and taxi) drivers seem to forget the 'subsequent Km.' bit!
... and the latest official prices that I can find say ₹13 then ₹10 while the Goa Tourist site says a flat rate of ₹7.

Where would be the potential 'benefit' in not having problems?

CASH-STRAPPED taxpayers are forking out £36million a year in child benefit for 40,000 youngsters who do not even live in Britain.



Angry MPs hit out as shock Whitehall statistics showed last night that 23,855 families are claiming handouts for children as a ­result of European Union welfare rules.

Is this fair?

This is the reason over the last few seasons we started going later to Goa.
