<Capt. Mike Allen, chief of staff for Navy Region Southwest, reiterated the
military's opposition in a brief address to the board yesterday, accusing
the agency of "a conscious decision to ignore" issues of military readiness
and public safety that would arise from joint use.>
In the light of the above unyielding stance, one cant help wondering if
the "military" character of some of our airports like Bangalore HAL,
Hyderabad Begumpet, Goa Dabolim and maybe even Pune Lohegaon are just an
eyewash. There dont seem to have been any serious issues of military
readiness let alone public safety at the first two which have seen fantastic
civilian traffic growth in recent years.
At Dabolim the military readiness problem may be a manufactured one to
retain control courtesy the aircraft carrier based nearby. Even so the only
issue of public safety that has been identified so far is one of military
aircaft crashing accidentally into petrol storage tanks in the vicinity, not
armaments being dropped on residents accidentally.
