Hi Phillip and Goanetters,
It is possible to believe that The Navy is at last giving in to demands and
pressure all around, and actually making a move to Mopa; thats why the
interest in Mopa and the NH17 alignment. This way they will have moved to
Mopa as and when it can be readied, and then at last Goa will have Dabolim
only for it's civilian needs. Dabolim could then become a first class (and
adequate to the needs of Goa) international and domestic airport; much like
the old Bombay's Santa Cruz airport used to be.
I firmly believe this is it! May be the Navy does not want to admit openly,
but will do the good deed and help Goa, in a big way.

Here in Goa, on the other hand, the state government is very happy with
the
Navy at Dabolim which even has its finger in the Mopa and highway plans!
And
goanetters are blissfully unaware of this intriguing "state of affairs"!
