(Prof Philip Thomas wrote: One of the areas in which it must show some dynamism is with regard to the freeing up of Dabolim airport from purely Navy control.)
I've always wanted to skirt any comment on this issue, Professor! But since you've broached it in response to a post from me, I've no choice but speak my mind. Frankly, I think it's unreasonable to expect the navy to vacate Dabolim. They've invested far too much there. A more practical solution would be to build another airport with private participation. If Kerala can do it, why not Goa? As you know, Cochin International Airport is a profitable venture in every sense.
I know this will make some people like bharati colaco froth in the mouth. According to them, the Indian Navy is an occupying force. They don't give a damn as to how the Goan soldiers and their families feel about such an epithet.
I would prefer not to engage in any further discussion on this issue.
Regards, RKN
