The North Goa district administration has imposed CrPC section 144 around Manohar International Airport and nearby villages to prevent unlawful assembly for two months in view of a call for blocking its road given by people who have lost their land for the airport project.
The airport was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in December 2022. District Collector Mamu Hage in the order issued on Tuesday said it has been brought to the notice by police that those who have lost their land for the airport in Pernem taluka, and people from Mopa, Warkhand, Nagzar and Chandel have been protesting under the banner of ‘Together for Pednekars’.
