Panjim: Goans for Dabolim Only (GFDO) has demanded that Collector Neela Mohanan, the designated authority for the public hearing on Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) study of the proposed Greenfield International Mopa airport, be replaced alleging possibility of a ‘conflict of interest’ since she is directly under the government. However, the GFDO is yet to decide on whether it will participate at the February 1 public hearing.
GFDO has scheduled a public meeting at Lohia Maidan, Margao, on January 31, on the eve of the public hearing scheduled at Simechen Adven, Pernem. It has appealed to all cabinet ministers, MLAs, irrespective of their political affiliation, to be part of the meeting, pressing for its demand that the State does not need two airports and that Dabolim should be the only international airport.
Addressing the media, GFDO convener Fr Eremito Rebelo informed that his NGO would make a representation to the chief secretary raising objections and reservations on the appointment of Mohanan as the designated authority for the public hearing on the EIA report.
