Amid reports that Goa's new international airport in Mopa will be named after four-time chief minister and former Defence minister Manohar Parrikar, his son Utpal Parrikar on Sunday said that if the Centre does so, it would be a 'happy moment for us'.
Panjim (Goa) [India], September 10 (ANI/PNN): The much-awaited MOPA project is expected to be operational soon. It is one of the region's most anticipated projects, and rightly so. The current airport in Goa has been undeserving the region. It does not have the requisite infrastructure nor scalability. With the MOPA airport, these problems will soon be a thing of the past. Analysts are expecting an influx of tourists to the entire Konkan belt. The result will be an overall development of the area. It is expected that this development will rub off on the real estate sector as well.
Panaji (Goa) [India], December 19 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Goa to attend Liberation Day celebrations at Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Stadium in Goa's Taleigao today.
