Varkhand: A public hearing on environment impact assessment (EIA) study on the Mopa airport was held at Simeche Adven here, amidst noisy scenes with opponents and supporters deposing on a host of environmental and other issues in a nearly four-hour long session on Sunday.
The hearing at the project site on the EIA drawn up by Engineers India Limited (EIL) and supported by the state government was conducted by the Goa state pollution control board (GSPCB) with nearly 1,000 police personnel deployed at the site.
It was marred by altercations between supporters and opponents, which threatened to escalate into physical confrontations, but the police
prevented any untoward incident. A large section of those present were vociferous in their support to the project and heckled speakers raising critical issues related to it.
