To Goanet -
From - http://www.navhindtimes.in/goa-news/matanhy-neither-supported-nor-opposed-mopa-alina [QUOTE] The Chief Minister, speaking on the occasion said that if the government finds the Mopa airport unfeasible, it would not go ahead with the project. "However, in today’s times Goa needs another airport, not only because the Dabolim airport is falling short for the heavy air traffic experienced by the state, but because it would largely benefit the air freight, especially the large quantity of consumable goods arriving and going out of Goa," he added. [UNQUOTE] I have two things to say apropos of the above - - Shouldn't the feasibility study have come BEFORE Manohar gave his "in-principle" approval? - Now he cuts a new one and tells us that Mopa is needed because of "freight." Here's another freebie - Mopa is absolutely essential for Goans to make a quick getaway in case of an attack by little green men from Mars. r
