Panaji: The movement against a second airport for Goa, proposed to come
up at Mopa in north Goa, has announced its plans to go back to the
villages to convince people through awareness drive that the tiny State
does not need a second airport.
Addressing a press conference in the city on Tuesday, Fr. Ermito Rebello, who is spearheading the Goans for Dabolim Only (GFDO) movement, reiterated the charge that the proposed Mopa airport for which the State Government is acquiring over 84 lakh sq. m of land is a massive land scam.
He said Goa must continue with an expanded, existing Dabolim International airport.
Referring to the recent State Government decision to requisition qualification for contractors, Fr. Ermito said, “While the Goa government continues to fool the people by saying that Mopa airport is necessary and feasible, its latest Cabinet decision to gift 381 acres of land under acquisition to the future airport developer for commercial use at 4 FAR proves us right -- that the proposed airport is nothing but a massive land scam.”
