Stating that the Mopa airport would lead to the progress of the entire State, Union Ayush Minister Shripad Naik on Wednesday said the airport would also give a huge boost to the State’s tourism and economy.
Naik was addressing a gathering after inaugurating the rehabilitation project for 14 project affected families of Mopa Airport in the presence of Tourism Minister Manohar Ajgaonkar at Casarvarnem-Pernem. The function was organised by the Directorate of Civil Aviation in which both the ministers handed over the house keys to the respective project affected family.
Naik praised people of Pernem Taluka for their cooperation and providing their land to set up the Mopa Airport and other projects in Pernem constituency.

“Development is taking place in every nook and corner of the state, be it the Zuari and Mandovi Bridges and four-lane roads, while work is being carried out at fast pace,” Ajgaonkar stated.
