Well said that, Dr. Falcao.
This BJPor CONG zombie needs his head examined.
The 8 questions he has asked needs to be flushed down the toilet.

Subject: [Goanet] Nine questions on Mopa? (Oheraldo)










In
respect to the letter “Nine questions on Mopa” (Herald 7 February), I wish 
the writer would do a

little of lateral thinking.

1) Why
do Goans or Goa need a 6 lane highway from North to South? Would that not
destroy and displace many ancestral homes besides covering the earth with 
acres

and acres of tarmac?

2)If
one reads the newspapers, it is obvious that foreign tourists are fed up 
with
the lack of infrastructure for tourism. Every turn is an eyesore of filth 
and
garbage. Every night is a nightmare of thefts, molestations, extortions, 
etc.


3)
May I ask what Goa has to export? Except for iron ore, that too not through
airports?

4)
The BRAND GOA depicted and the brand Goa in reality is too late to change.
Tourist all over have commented on how Goa has deteriorated over the 
decades.


5)When
a huge project singly is not economically viable through expert opinions, 
and
made worse still by projecting that both airports would be functional, can 
any

rational doubt suspicion?

6)With
Mopa at the extreme Northern border, will it be economical for Goans or 
Maharashtrian
to commute? Leave aside other projects in the heart of Goa where we hardly 
see

50% Goans employed.

7)When
the project itself is destroying greenery, agriculture, water table, forests
 wild life, tourism to the south and its repercussions; what is left of
the State of Goa?

8)
RTI is a tool in every citizen’s hand. We should not depend on others if WE
need to know the truth.

9)I
do not see any political gimmick in case of Mopa. Both national parties are
hand in glove in this issue.
