Mapusa: Most panchayats in Pernemtaluka have unanimously passed resolutions supporting the proposed Mopa airport.
Fifteen panchayats out of a total of 20 have also passed resolutions requesting the government to initiate the procedure of Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Mopa airport.
Locals in the taluka, under the banner of the newly-formed NGO, People for Mopa Airport (PMA), have stepped up their movement in support of the Mopa airport project.
"We appealed to the people and received overwhelming response. Seeing the response, we are confident the remaining all five gram panchayats will also pass the resolutions requesting the government to initiate the procedure of RFQ," said PMA convenor Devendra Prabhudesai.
