Mr. Veronica, I support your write-up regarding MOPA and DABOLIM Airports, it is true; One Hundred Millions time it is TRUE and there is no doubt.
Indian Navy will never ever give us back our historical and only one, the Dabolim International Airport. I’m hearing since last 7 years now that Centre had approved CRORES of Rupees for the infrastructure and developments of Dabolim Airport and till-to-date, nothing has been done. My question is; where is the money? When will the work commence? After MOPA airport is built?
I was writing about the Dabolim Airport last 7 years back on the net and so far nothing has been done. It is the same story line, Konkan Railway, Meta Strip, Metro Train, goans objected, centre adopted. I always say our Freedom Fighters had made a great mistake, liberated GOA and merged to India. Indian Navy came and robbed our precious – Dabolim Aiport and Angediva Island. Will Goa and goans be safe? We must ask ourself and we will get the answer.
Latest news during the last election time, MOPA Airport simultaneously will come up in Goa along with upgrading of Dabolim Airport. Not a single MLA has done anything for the Dabolim Airport, only tamashaa has been made by Churchill Alemao only to gain votes and sympathy from the peoples of Goa. Beware, no MLA nor Minister will do his best to save Dabolim Airport.
Only Goan NRIs like Kerala NRIs who built their own airport in Kerala and Consumer Court can save the Dabolim Airport.
