Kolkata, Rules & Customer Service
Here is an update of our India tour. Yesterday was a day full of jinx. At one point of time we were wondering how worse can it get.
On the way to Benapole, our companion family's child got sick from food poisoning and vomited in the car. We had to stop for cleaning and then on the border it turned out the customs superintendent, who was supposed to give approval for enlisting the carnet de passage (permission to take the car across border) was not in the office.

It can also be used directly in mobile browser (like me )- people rarely know this although...
