As for the Dabolim Airport issue, a report in today's Herald is headlined, Alina puts Matanhy's evidence on Dabolim in public domain. The report doesn't say how the public can access the documents. It talks about an article written by Matanha on Aug. 2, 2002 but doesn't provide details nor informs where the article appeared. She talks of a letter by Matanhy but the report fails to inform to who the letter was addressed to. The report says that the notification SO 988 from the Civil Aviation department clarifies that the central government doesn't own the airport. So does it mean that the Navy owns it or the Goa government? More clarity is called for. Alina must pu Matanhy's article, letters and the government notification on the Maka Naka Mopa website. Some days ago I had suggested the MNM website that Alina must to make Matanhy documents available to the public. Now if journalists/researchers are able to access them somewhere it would help in understanding the issue better.
