Wooing tourists should be within normal limits

 It is learnt that the State government has announced the introduction of a unique sticker system for the tourists travelling in their vehicles in order to help the smooth movement of tourists.

However what comes as a shocker is that several tourists have demanded a separate road for the locals so that the Parra road is left for them (the tourists). This is totally unacceptable. Wooing the tourists should have a limit.
