On the front page of TOI is the following plain vanilla report: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Dabolim_expansion_likely_from_Dece mber/rssarticleshow/3491992.cms But inside there is a largish story by Ajay Thakur titled "Turbulence in air & on ground". With a sub-title which reads "Goa's Dabolim airport can be a traveller's nightmare" and inserts like "Its a big parking mess" and "Dabolim not passenger friendly" the piece is a scathing account of Dabolim's glaring deficiencies. But it completely overlooks the fact that Dabolim's airport area of 1700 acres is of the same size as Bombay international airport. And the 10,000 foot runway is big enough to land jumbo jets. The reason for the mismatches cited in Dabolim passenger facilities is not mentioned at all. In fact there is no mention whatsoever that the facility is basically under Naval control and only nominally under AAI. Why this blindspot? Does it have to do with the client relations between TOI and the Navy? Is TOI doing its bit to stampede the people of Goa to opt for Mopa and get the civil enclave at Dabolim to close by default and revert to the Navy? This is the kind of national media conspiracy which is rampant on the subject of civil enclaves in general.
