Panjim: Goans for Dabolim Only (GFDO) alleged that the government’s shielding of the proposed golf course project at Tiracol is a justification of Mopa airport. Addressing a press conference, GFDO convenor Fr Eremito Rebelo said that the golf course and other 5-star hotels in Pernem will force the displacement of the taluka’s residents. The projects are necessary to make Mopa airport feasible, he said.
“So called development in Tiracol, including Leading Hotels’ golf course and four more stared hotels, are linked to Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar’s efforts to transform the unfeasible Mopa airport into a viable money-spinning project. BJP’s Mopa airport dream is turning out to be a nightmare for the people of Goa,” Fr Rebello said.
Commenting on Parsekar’s claim of 99 per cent tourism establishments in Pernem being illegal, he asked how the chief minister can certify Leading Hotels’ project as legal when it has violated NGT orders.
