Goa will get wings with new airport, set to clock double-digit growth: CM
Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said the coastal state is expected to clock a double-digit economic growth after the commissioning of a new international airport which is expected to provide a fillip to tourism.
The Manohar International Airport at Mopa in North Goa was inaugurated in December last year and it started commercial operations in early January.
Addressing a Western Zonal Council meeting in Gujarat’s capital Gandhinagar in presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Sawant said Goa’s economy did not suffer any major setback during the COVID-19 pandemic due to smart initiatives taken by the state government.
