Panaji: The Goa government's decision to quickly complete a controversial airport project at Mopa near the Maharashtra border is being criticised by the state's political parties and civil society members.
"Why is the BJP government pushing at breakneck speed for an airport that will sound a death knell for tourism in Goa? It is unfair to build an airport close to the border. We favour a central place such as Ponda (central Goa) for the new airport if the government says so, but not in Mopa," Radharai Gracias, vice president of United Goans Democratic Party (UGDP), told a news agency.
The Goa Cabinet April 23 gave a "in principle" nod to the airport's Rs 2,500-crore master plan to be completed by 2015.
