agreed between "the ministry of defence and the civil aviation department", both Central Govt agencies. This could have occurred soon after the "annexation" of March 1962. There appears to have been NO input from the Goa Govt at all, presumably been ordered ever since to "shut up and bear up".
AFAIK, the first elected government of Goa took over after elections in December 1963. Prior to that, subsequent to the end of Portuguese colonial rule in a military action, there only was a military government in place -- albeit with some advisory council -- in place. Maybe someone who was around in those times, like 'Chacha' Alfred Tavares (his term!) could disabuse us of any incorrect notions.
Cheers,

P.S. I hope these questions get asked on the "Liberation" Day!
And I hope that a sneaking (or not-so-sneaking) admiration of the pre-1961 Portuguese regime that seems to linger among a tiny but vocal section doesn't get the upper hand, so as to ruin a perfectly good case about placing economic and societal needs ahead of military assumptions.
