re: < If the Navy did not display this intransigence wrt Civilian Flights - NOBODY would have bothered >

My question: WHEN did pressure begin to be applied on the Navy about civilian flights? Since 1962? Or since the late 80s early 90s? Any info about this history would be of interest. Thanks.
JC response: Somewhere in the early 1990s - when Air Travel opened up in India - more Airlines were allowed to operate & more UK charter operators got interested in Goa .
The words " pressure begin to be applied on the Navy" are oxymoronoid. Goans are in NO position to apply pressure to the Navy.
In fact - and you may check this out - Most heads of Tourism and Information in Goa are individuals who are non-Goans ..... who have NO clue about Goa & who preside over junk stuff like " the Dona and Paula love affair"
IF Goans cannot challenge these civil servants - what chance is there with the ALMIGHTY Indian Navy which considers Goa as one of the SPOILS of WAR.
Some Liberation!
