Panjim: In what will look like a red rag to the anti-Mopa activists and people of South Goa, the task force which has drafted Goa’s Investment Policy, to which "finishing touches are being given" by the Chief Minister has formally inked the two airport theory, stating that Mopa will be ready to handle four million passengers by 2018.
A member of the task force confirmed to Herald that there was no specific discussion on this during what is being called the "winding up meeting" on the Policy on Thursday, thereby indicating that the construction of the Mopa airport will be a stated policy removing any scope for ambiguity by the government. While this does not come as a surprise, it assumes significance, since during the election campaign in South Goa, this was kept on the backburner.
