** CIVILIAN AIRPORT TO STAY AT DABOLIM - ANTONY http://oheraldo.in/News/Main%20Page%20News/Civilian-airport-to-stay-at-Dabolim-Antony/74385.html ** The Goa Su-Raj Party, which is in the forefront in it's demand that Naval operations at Dabolim be shifted to Seabird base at Karwar, to free Goa's Civilian airport at Dabolim for expansion to International standards, thanks the Union Defense Minister A.K. Antony in no uncertain terms for going on record to publicly announce that Civilian Airport will stay at Dabolim and shall not go to the Navy once Mopa airport becomes a reality, if at all. His other statement that there are no plans to shift the naval aviation wing from Goa, is of no concern to Goans at this time, as this will be determined automatically if the future ' Dr. Jack de Sequeira International Airport at Dabolim will co-exist with limited naval operations with no scope whatsoever to expand. This Party considers the above assurance given by the Union Defense Minister of the country that Civilian airport at Dabolim will continue, as the signed and delivered 'death warrant' to MOPA proposition, and therefore, this Party demands that any further advancement on this project must come to an immediate halt before Goa blows up in the face of it's proponents like never before in Goa's so called 'liberated' history of past 52 years, since 1961. The fact that two civilian airports are not feasible for a small state like Goa, economically, as well as physically, within a distance of 150 km, makes the reasoning all the more valid, now that all doubts are cleared by the Defense Minister about the futuristic status of Dabolim to continue as a civilian airport. The MOPA project was heretofore advancing on the basis that when it goes into operation, Dabolim will lose it's civilian status and the Navy will gobble it as a naval or defense airport, therefore defeating the 'two civilian airports' theory for Goa. Goa thanks the Defense Minister for making it easy for the Anti-MOPA proponents to concentrate their fight against MOPA alone, without diluting it with 'NAVY GET OUT' , now that the expanding civilian status of Dabolim's Jack de Sequeira International Airport will take care of the Navy at its own time. Needless to say that when Goans repose their faith in Goa's own 'Regional High Command in Goa' rather than with the alien 'High Commands' from elsewhere outside Goa, who care a damn as to what happens to Goa and Goans, it will not take more than 3 months for the Navy to be on 'NOTICE' to move out from Dabolim to make space for one of the best in the world International Airport at DABOLIM, GOA.
