Navelim locals object Mopa airport

Margao: Members of the Navelim civic and consumer forum (NCCF) met Navelim MLA and minister for fisheries Avertano Furtado on Sunday and presented him a memorandum urging him to convey their objections against the proposed Mopa airport to chief minister Manohar Parrikar.

"We are surprised that the government of Goa is going ahead with the RFQ (request for quotations) for the proposed airport without the mandatory environment assessment. Even the land was acquired without the EIA. We kindly request you to inquire as to why is there a rush of going ahead with the process and bypassing the necessary procedures required, which are detrimental in the long run," reads the memorandum.
