Panaji: Rajya Sabha MP from Goa Shantaram Naik, on Friday, opposed the state government's decision to allot five acres of land to Indian Navy for a Naval Enclave to be developed at the proposed Greenfield airport coming at Mopa.
The Defence ministry had proposed a naval enclave at the new airport which has been approved by state government.
"Indian Navy shouldn't be given land at the proposed International Airport at Mopa. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar has once again played treacherous game against Goa's interest," Naik told reporters.
Goa's existing airport at Dabolim is run by the Indian Navy.
The foundation stone for the greenfield airport in north Goa is expected to be laid this year and first phase is likely to be commissioned in year 2019.
