>From Constantino Xavier's post [Jan 10] it is obvious that Goa is not the only place which is affected by the controls of the Defence Establishment. But the developments on the airspace restructuring issue are worth monitoring as it can be used as leverage in local discussions with the Navy.
It is also worth monitoring the issue of IAF and various airports especially Pune. In my Dec 13 post titled "Some hope for Dabolim?" it will be see that the IAF seems open to the idea of effectively sharing airport infrastructure for civilian purposes. What more do we want from the Navy at Dabolim? Such matters should perhaps be given greater importance by the South Goa MP, Churchill Alemao, in his petition than purely touristy precedents like the Red Fort in Delhi, especially since he is reportedly a member of the Standing Committee on Defence.
