Chicalim’s Deputy Sarpanch has done what no enemy nation would dream of, leave aside any patriotic Indian. He has launched a full scale attack on the highly sensitive Naval Airbase by excavating out real estate property for himself outside the secured walls of Dabolim Airbase that could bring down the wall any day and has even built a seven storey multi-dwelling unit inside the funnel zone that rises like a sore thumb in the path of naval fighter jets, surveillance aircrafts and scores of commercial flights landing at Dabolim Airport. And he is not alone.
Since Mopa Airport has been bulldozed through by the current and previous BJP governments, there has been a systematic effort to endanger and kill the airport. The Mormugao Planning and Development Authority has allowed a dense population to come all around the airport and even wrongfully drawn the funnel zone. The current Chief Minister’s previous stint as Defence Minister was used well to compromise all possible security and safeguards to the approach zone to the airport and high rises have mushroomed practically everywhere sans permission from defence authorities. Result – make Dabolim Airport so unsafe that commercial airlines thumb down the existing airport in favour of the upcoming one at Mopa. Politics and greed have been effectively gnawing away Dabolim Airport. And strangely from those who benefit the most from the airport.
