Informally talking to a group of reporters, the minister said as the objective is to boost tourism, the alignment of the Sky Bus project should have been from Baga to Cavelossim. Mr Pacheco also felt that the huge funds (amounting to around Rs 350 crore) could have been utilized for building better infrastructure badly needed to give fillip to the tourism sector. He has favoured a route beginning from Baga with stops at Panjim and Dabolim before culminating at Cavelossim. Regarding the cost factor, he said he would seek more funds through the Chief Minister to take up the project in the coastal belt from north to south. ----------------------------------- HERALD 4/01/03 page 3 ----------------------------------- ======================================= GOA DESC RESOURCE CENTRE Documentation + Education + Solidarity 11 Liberty Apts., Feira Alta, Mapusa, Goa 403 507 Tel: 2252660 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] website: www.goadesc.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Working On Issues Of Development & Democracy =======================================
