Panaji: A Goa-based NGO has expressed surprise over the state government's move to hand over land for the proposed greenfield airport in North district to a private entity when it does not hold any stake in the project as indicated by the Union Civil Aviation ministry.
"Union Civil Aviation ministry has indicated that Goa government will not hold any stake in the proposed greenfield airport at Mopa but will have representation on the Board of Directors with veto powers. This came as a surprise to us," NGO Gen Next President Durgadas Kamat said in a statement issued here.
A Civil Aviation ministry official was also recently quoted as saying that Goa will not have any stake in Mopa airport project.
"Mopa will have the distinction of being the first airport project in India where the state government will not be owner, even partially," Kamat said.
