<Philip has stated the obvious that is being obfuscated in the deate about Dabolim. It is not that Dabolim is good but , rather, that Mopa is bad...for the hospitality business in South Goa.>[Miguel Braganza]
The next 'obvious thing' is that if Mopa is bad for the south Goa hospitality business, (and I agree it might well be as per the present plan) then it should be (re-)configured to AVOID that clash i.e. as a domestic airport rather than as an "international airport" to begin with. What I am pleading for is not to throw the baby out with the bath water in the irrational "stop Mopa" campaign. Its really strange that Churchill took one stand 8 months ago (Mopa is OK if Dabolim continues) and has now changed it completely. Is there any sanctity left in a person's word over here? Sad.
