MARGAO: Goans for Dabolim Only (GFDO) has thanked the pro-Mopa group ~ People for Mopa International Airport ~ for supporting what the GFDO has been saying all along that only one airport is feasible for Goa.
“This lays to rest once and for all the government’s baseless claim that Dabolim Airport would remain operational even after the setting up of Mopa Airport. In fact, the government information disseminated on the issue is full of factual errors with stark contradictions and arbitrariness of arguments,” GFDO Convenor Fr Eremito Rebello said.
He observed: “The government’s stand fails to challenge the resultant conclusions arising out of objective reasoning and rigorous and rational analysis and evaluation of facts, figures and case studies of similar situations in other parts of the country as well as expert reports on feasibility and the very need of a second airport based on future air traffic projections for Goa.” He said there’s no doubt that this thoughtless policy decision of the State government will have extremely serious and far-reaching economic and social implications for the state.
