Goa airport landing strip in dangerous condition: Parrikar
The chief minister was making a case for a second airport in Goa, which he said would also ease off the congestion at the Dabolim, operated by the Indian Navy.
"The airstrip is in dangerous condition and needs urgent repair...it is full of bumps," Parrikar told reporters at his last post cabinet media briefing late Friday.
The Dabolim airport caters to nearly four million passengers annually.
Parrikar is expected to resign from office on Saturday, to be sworn-in as union cabinet minister on Sunday, after which he is likely to be offered the defence portfolio.
