Basically we don't need MOPA airport because we are just fed up of the greenery
of Goa disappearing into these urban plans. Just leave the hills of MOPA as is
and stick with Dabolim.
As for the renaming of places, we have enough of that too.
Concentrate on what we have as we cannot even manage what we have on our
hands...like garbage!

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 goa...@goanet.org to initiate a public discussion.
Cheers!
