If they don't install meters in all the registered taxis then deal with the unregistered taxis the meters will never be installed. Perhaps this is the plan to stop or delay them being installed. I, for one would start using taxis again if they had to charge the metered price. Last season I only used taxis when our grandchildren were staying with us.

Goa Greenfield Airport: Goa to float global tenders for its new airport soon

Posted: 08 Dec 2012 07:19 AM PST

Goa would float global tenders for its greenfield airport at Mopa in North Goa by the end of the current financial year, Chief Minister of the state Manohar Parikkar said here today. ”We would like to float global tenders for the Mopa airport by March,” Parikkar told reporters on the sidelines of panIIT conference here.



Parikkar, an IIT graduate, said that the existing airport at Dabolim was totally saturated. The new airport would be built on public-private partnership basis with land to be given by the government. He said that the cost of the airport would be around Rs 3000 crore, adding that the government had earmarked 2500 acre for it.

The airport was likely to become operational in four year’s time, he said. Air traffic to Goa was expected to double from three million to six million in three years, Parikkar said.

Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore airports are now quite impressive - those are the only ones I know about.
Don't just knock things!

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Dabolim totally saturated now and air traffic will double in 3 years and the new airport will not be ready for four years. Where is all the additional air traffic going in the mean time.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I wonder if domestic flights will still land at Dabolim, or it will be a very long journey for those going to the far south.
There was a suggestion that the runway at the Seabird naval base would be lengthened to take civil aircraft, but haven't seen anything reported recently.

Police to patrol Goa hills following molestation

8 Dec: IANS. Goa Police have extended their patrolling from beaches to hill slopes used by tourists to trek from one beach to another after two foreigners were molested by domestic tourists on one such route. The Australian tourists were molested by two separate groups of domestic tourists, who tried to waylay the women and fondle them while they were walking from Anjuna beach to Baga beach … Cases of male domestic tourists harassing sun-bathing foreign women or even those dressed in beach wear are often reported through the tourist season

www.goanvoice.org. uk.

This is what we have been saying all along about the Domestic Tourists.:thumbdown:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Noni, I know you have been saying this about "the" domestic tourists but I have also been saying; these are particular riff-raff males who target (mostly north Goa) with the specific purpose of harassing foreign women in lesser clothing about whom they have wrongly heard as 'loose'. The same types who would harass any women if they thought they could get away with it.

They are not typical of domestic tourists per se. Indian tourists travel all over India, not just Goa. Read some of the India Mike forums about rest of India, Indian people have always been great travellers if they had the means to do it.
Don't let these people influence your mind about general domestic tourists.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I have travelled around other parts of India so they don't influence my mind, but they do ...... well annoy me. Brown Undies, and throwing their litter around. :sneaky:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I do not care what excuses some people here make for the lewd behaviour of some groups of males who come form other parts of India and harrass women in Goa, the excuses are utter bullshit...................these same men would beat another man to death if the man behaved towards their mothers/wives/sisters /aunts/ female relatives and friends in this way....................
..............which just goes to show they know that such conduct is wrong !
