Middlemen rule the roost at Walayar check post: VS

Middlemen are ruling the roost again at the Walayar check post, where corruption  has become visible in dealings, Opposition Leader V S Achuthanandan has said .

He was speaking after inaugurating a protest march organised by the CPM Pudussery area committee against corruption at the check post  on Saturday.
