ISSN No. 2394-5982 mySOCIETY X (1-2), 2015-16 ©University of Mysore Research Article http://mysociety.uni-mysore.ac.in LAND, DEVELOPMENT AND RESISTANCE: AN ISSUE OF MOPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - ■r'fyajbuM Ldr /P c ABSTRACT The changing development paradigm in the post-reform period brought along with growth new challenges and concerns. The pressure on land, the question of rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental degradation, growing inequalities are some such concerns. The mega projects initiated by both Central as well as Sfafe government are putting pressure on land and threatening the livelihood of people and environment. Goa is not immune to such developments. The article is concerned with the process of land acquisition to build international airport in Goa and in the course o f action affecting environment and livelihood of people. The article argues while such acquisition is necessary for development, its success depends upon consultation with stakeholders prior to such decisions and well thought out compensation and rehabilitation packages which are lacking in the process of land acquisition. Development discourse in the post reform period brought along with growth host of challenges. One of the major issue in the development discourse revolves around land acquisition and displacement. The increasing number of mega projects are putting pressure on the existing land and environment resultingin protest against such projects throughout the country.

Mopa Airport Woes
ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Mopa Airport Woes Debating the Proposed Airport in North Goa KENNETH BO NIELSEN Vol. 50, Issue No. 25, 20 Jun, 2015 Kenneth Bo Nielsen ([email protected]) is a postdoctoral research fellow, University of Bregen, Norway. A proposed new airport in North Goa has brought to the fore the old North Goa–South Goa feud. With the current Bharatiya Janata Party government determined to make the project a success, they could ride roughshod over concerns, environmental as well as political. If the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government has its way, Goa will have a new operational international airport in five years from now. The proposed airport will be located on the Mopa plateau in Pernem taluka in North Goa, near the Maharashtra border. But although the project is backed by strong political and commercial interests, it has encountered stiff opposition from other quarters. This commentary examines how the proposed Mopa airport has polarised public opinion in India’s smallest state. From Dabolim to Mopa The only airport in Goa today is the centrally-located Dabolim international airport. Dabolim was built by the Portuguese as a civilian airport in 1955—the Portuguese military air force never had a presence in Goa—but only months after the Indian Army had liberated Goa in December 1961, the airport was taken over by the Indian Navy’s air wing (Pais 2014: 217). Dabolim airport today is thus in effect a civilian enclave within a military airbase. The Indian Navy has shown no interest in relocating its base in Dabolim elsewhere, and has generally proven reluctant to relinquish more land for the expansion of civilian operations, even when a new, integrated terminal building was inaugurated in 2013.

Issue No.-09/2016 DHOLERA SIR N E W S Published by Dholera Metro City Date : 5th January 2016, Tuesday 1st October 2014 Powered by : www.dholerametrocity.com, For Private Circulation Only Civil Aviation Ministry Gives Clearance For 4 Greenfield Airports including the Rs. 1,378 Crore International Airport at Dholera in Gujarat NEW DELHI: The Civil Aviation Ministry has given clearance for four greenfield airports including the Rs. 1,378 crore international airport at Dholera in Gujarat, which is expected to reduce air traffic load at the existing Ahmedabad airport. The three other greenfield airports are proposed to be set up in Andhra Pradesh, with two of them likely to be no- frills ones. The Environment Ministry has already given environmental clearance to Rs. 1,378 crore airport project at Dholera in Ahmedabad last year. "The site clearance, which is the first clearance, was given on Monday for the Bhogapuram airport in Andhra Pradesh which is about 40 km from Vizag," Civil Aviation Secretary Rajiv Nayan Choubey said on Monday. The Ministry has also given its go ahead for development of a greenfield airport in Nellore and Kurnool districts of Andhra Pradesh under a public-private partnership, he said. A greenfield airport is a new airport which is constructed on an undeveloped site. The GMR-run Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamsabad near Hyderabad and GVK-Group run Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru are greenfield airports. Dholera airport, which would be developed in 3,525 acres owned by the state government, is expected to have two runways and the terminal building will have a capacity for 1,200 domestic and international passengers.

1 Revue de presse Semaines 49 & 50 (3-16 décembre 2018) Kannur: The long wait is over, and the dream has come true. Finally, Kannur International Airport (KIAL) has taken wings with the maiden flight by Air India Express to Abu Dhabi. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and union minister for civil aviation Suresh Prabhu flagged off the first aircraft at 10.06 am on Sunday, carrying 185 passengers, thus crossing yet another milestone in the aviation history of the nation, by commissioning the fourth international airport in the state. Later, addressing a public meeting, Pinarayi Vijayan, who formally inaugurated the facility, said when the idea of the airport evolved way back in 1990s, there was apprehension whether it would be practical to have an airport here. But now the airport has been materialized and it has the potential to become one of the most important 4-5 airports in the country. He also said the Kerala government is ready to take over Thiruvananthapuram airport, since the central government has decided to privatise it. In the case of Kozhikode airport also the government has the same stand, as it has experience in managing airports, said the chief minister. Union minister Suresh Prabhu, who was the chief guest on the occasion, said this airport is a very good model of development with the central and state governments having stake in it. Observing that connectivity is a pre-requisite for development, the minister also said Kerala has the highest potential for growth. Though Air India Express and Go Air have started operation in the beginning, more companies would start operations in the coming days, said the officials.
