On a social networking site (Goa Speaks on Facebook) it has been suggested that the capital of Goa be shifted to Mopa from Panjim to take full advantage of the infrastructure that will be developed for the new airport. It will also help to de-congest Panjim and make it the sleepy little town we all loved.
Mopa should be then renamed as Mopanaji or Nova Panjim to retain continuity. Or maybe renamed as Mopalika or Mopanagar to make it easier for Mahrashtrians to pronounce. Or maybe Mopanajinagarepullam to satisfy Karnataka too at one stroke. Also the Secretariat and the Assembly can be shifted to the new capital to benefit the hinterland people and create opportunities. Any thoughts on these suggestions and related issues? Please copy your responses to <[email protected]> to initiate a public discussion. Cheers! Cecil ========
