MARGAO: Notwithstanding a strong public outcry against the Navy's move of acquiring a large stretch of the Bimvel beach in Mormugao taluka, the sandy shores are still very much under the radar of the naval authorities. What's more, despite the South Goa collector turning down the Navy's proposal for initiating the land acquisition proceedings under the urgency clause of the Land Acquisition Act, the naval authorities are determined to acquire the land by dispensing with the normal procedure of land acquisition.
In a letter addressed to the land acquisition officer and deputy collector, Agnelo Fernandes, the naval authorities have pointed out that the acquisition of Bimvel beach under urgency clause is an "inescapable necessity".
"It is once again requested that as per the government of India approval and in the interest of the security of Goa aerodrome, the acquisition process of Bimvel beach area under the urgency clause be commenced without any delay," says commander A K Bhatnagar in the letter.
Invocation of the urgency clause entails dispensing of the procedure of filing objections by interested parties under Section 5(a) of the Land Acquisition Act. The proposal of the Navy is to acquire some 1,08,372 sq m of Bimbel beach, along with the two St George islands. The issue generated public resentment against the Navy after the news first broke out in October last year.
Meanwhile, the naval authorities have also dismissed a complaint filed by a Vasco resident, Andre Periera, with the Mormugao Municipal Council (MMC) against the erection of gates that blocked access to his property near Bimvel beach. "It is stated that the high court order which adjudicated that access be provided to the residents of Bimvel beach on production of photo passes, is being honoured in true spirit and there is no substance in the application to the MMC," the letter by Bhatnagar to Fernandes adds.

Wake up Goans. Let us stand united and say not the the robber NAVY OF INDIA. Indian Government is doing everything to loot Goa land. Time the Indians get out of Goa. Sudhir pillai wants to build a resort for his family and the other navy families in Bimbvel. Our "KUTRE" ministers are sleeping and once navy bribes them they will give away all of Goa. Terrorists entered Bombay and through Bombay port and other Indian places and not through Goa. Bloody Goan uneducated Ministers come to your senses and drive away the navy to Bombay. They could not protect Bombay and want to grab Goan lands in the name of Security. WAKE UP GOANS AND SEE THIS! ONE DAY INDIAN NAVY WILL START THROWING US OUT OF OUR HOUSES.
Forty idiots wake up and raise your voice against these monstrous plan of Navy. Govt. donated them our Anjideve Island for Sea Bird porject and now they want to claim these two Islands as well as Virgin beach just below the Airport. I am sure the ruscal Indian Navy have an eye on these beautiful locations to create recreational and holiday facilities to self and their families in the name of security. The vast area within Navy enclave at Dabolim has been converted into residential complexes for present and past retired Navy Personals.
When will our Govt. open their eyes and fight to retain our tiny Goa?. Why everybody has their eye on Goa?. Today they are planning to cliam two Islands and Bimvel beach under urgency clause, if they succeed this mission, tomorrow they may claim major part of Marmugao area again under name of security.
Let's give a fight to this, if Govt. is least bothered people will come on the street to retain our prestigeous land.
Navy get out of Goa, leave the Airport we don't need you'll. Our Fourty Ba...rd are too busy collecting percentage and bribes. Come ON MLA's people have elected you to protect our Goa and it's people, wake up and do something to our beloved Goa and then have a peaceful death.
It was bad enough the Indian forces Invaded Goa now the Indian Navy is dictating their demands to our land. Let us all stand up and fight for a True Liberation Of Goa. The Navy should vacate the Civilian Dabolim Airport and move to a proper Indian State.
It looks like there is only one MP that represents GOA and that is Shantaram Nike to raise issue concerning Goa and that is actually any MP's job. What about other two dummy dick heads (South & North) never heard raising any issue that concern Goa. Are they alive or dead or rather busy full-filling their personal comittment?. In these two terms of North Goa MP I myself never heard of him talking on any topics that relates to Goa. It shows lack of concern towards Goa.

On one side we have the Mega housing projects and the 5 star hotels grabbing goan land, then we have the elected govt representatives grabbing land (including commundade land) under the guise of SEZ, industrial estates, national highways and on the other hand we have the navy, grabbing land under the guise of security., for their recreation & housing. The navy is not satisfied with Anjedive island and are now after the 2 islands and the beach, which makes a perfect secluded private picnic spot. We have enough problems with starred hotels restricting acces to the beach elsewhere in goa. The navy also grabbed big track of land in south (Cavelossim?) in the 70s which they use for the aerial firing range. Every central govt department wants to grab land in Goa. The rest is is being actively courted by the ghanttis. Whats left for goans, we have to fight to keep it. We do not need the navy in Goa. Who said they are here for goan security?. In any modern war the enemy will first target the military installations with missiles, smart ammo etc. With the accuracy of these missiles, can expect them to land anywhere within vasco. So who’s secure? The navy is an encroacher on goan land. About time the the whole of goa come on the streets to thwart the plans of the navy chors taking advantage of goan hospitality and kick them out of dabolim. Of course the 39 maha chors are silent, spineless creatures.

Freedom Figthers....thanks but 'NO thanks'! to your so called 'liberation'. This is a take over of our land!!....and it will never end now. We seem to have lost already...on 1961! The Freedole Farters should come on the streets and dance to this news!
MP Shantaram Naik's scathing comments on the Navy says it all. It is a must read.
Today 50 years down the road after Goa being part of India, every man and his dog and the unwanted flea on the tip of the dog's tail thinks he is entitled to free land in Goa and on top of that pees on the head of the Goemkar. That goes for our Goa Government as well, the Navy, the MPT, the Konkan Railway, the Russian Mafia, the Italian Drug Dealers, the Casino operators, the Mining Conglomerates busy shipping out Goan soil to distant Chinese ports.
How smartly they closed the Dabolim Airport on 26th Janauary so some Pillai and the Governor can make a case for the Mopa Airport so that they cn have a free run on more of our Goan lands!
Bloody humbug! All they want is fun, rest and recreation in Goa instead of being stationed where they need to be!
To Vithal Gaitonde.:: Very well said and articulate too.
The Goa Government comes up with a lot of humbug.
The current upgradation of Dabolim is also going to be so sub-standard, that it will be under constant repairs for the next 10 years+,using off course Tax Payers money.
This constant repair costs of Dabolim will make it unfeasible in the long term and so ensure that Mopa goes ahead, as all the Politicians in Goa have big financial stakes and will benefit from large kickbacks(bribes) in it,(Including Churchill)..
Churchill will be eager,not to be left out of this pie,even though he keeps protesting.His pride / ego will not allow him to be a loser in Finiancial stakes of Mopa Project.
Churchill`s stake will be held in a Proxy.Either by one of his children.Or under his Russian named Company called "RAISA HOLDINGS".
RAISA HOLDINGS also has operations in Dubai Hotels,freqented by Eastern European whores.Mickky Pacheco is one of the Clients of these Whores, when he visits Dubai.
By the way ,the name of Mopa will soon have to be changed to" MOPASKI AIRPORT".
This problem what we are facing today is due to the traitor Bandorkar, he ruined the Portuguese language, it's culture, it's beauty, you name it. (What has remained is only the Catholic names and the Churches with Latin names)
The main reason he destroyed the Portuguese language, is because he wanted everything to be converted in Marathi, we Goans slept, whilst this was happening. This traitor brought in Marathi teachers from neighbouring states, opened hundreds of school. If not for Jack Sequeira today we would have been a Marathi State.
It's high time we get up and stand against Delhi, tell them that Portuguese is a language just like English which is excepted by Indian, although English came 250 years later.
Our Government is a PIMP, (Professionals in managing Prostitutes) they are all controlled by Delhi and Maharashtra.
To have the Statue of Gandhi and the PIMP Bandorkar in Goa is a big insult to each and every Goan. It's high time we get rid of this Indians from our holy soil. (When our soil is holy with St. Francis Xavier's remains, why think of Jerusalem) The Statue of Bandorkar should be removed and replaced with a live Statue of Dr. Jack Sequeira. Viva GOA
PS. How did we Goans manage to forget Portuguese, where all our ancestors Certificates, sale deeds, Laws and the rest are in Portuguese.? How this thing could happen overnight? Bebdo this is a job for you, you as our NG detective.
'Navy's occupation of Dabolim has no sanctity of law'
TNN, Jan 28, 2011, 06.53am IST
PANAJI: Stating that Goans have long suffered for not questioning the Indian Navy over its occupation of Dabolim airport, Goa's sole representative in the Rajya Sabha Shantaram Naik has warned that peace may not prevail if the Navy goes ahead with its land acquisition process. The Navy's move to acquire two more islands and a beach, would amount to running roughshod over the people's sentiments, Naik said.
'Does the Navy want to protect Goa or attack Goa? The question has arisen, because despite protests from the public, naval authorities propose to acquire Bimbvel beach and two St George Islands by invoking the urgency clause under Section 17 of the Land Acquisition Act 1984,' states a press release by the Rajya Sabha member of parliament. Naik terms the act of the Navy an "open defiance of the authority of the people of Goa and the state".
Recent moves by the Indian Navy to acquire two islands and a beach stretch for "defence purposes" have sparked outrage in Goa, forcing the state government to stall this request. The delay had forced the Navy to invoke Section 17 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1984, which empowers central government agencies to acquire land without the consent of the state government.
Goa was annexed by the Indian Union on December 19, 1961, after which its civilian airport has come under control of the Indian Navy. 'The state of Goa has not consented to the acquisition, neither have the owners nor the people of the village concerned. Even the occupation of land in Dabolim had no sanctity of law and the people of Goa are suffering for not questioning the Navy over these years,' Naik stated.
'Section 17 does give the right to acquire land directly for the purposes of the union. The urgency clause cannot be misused in the manner the naval authorities in Goa propose to do so and it may lead to serious consequences if peoples' wishes are thrown to winds,' the press release stated.
'If people feel safe without the naval authorities' presence in these two islands and the Bimbvel beach, that's the way it should be. The Navy should explain the point of time and the circumstances that led it to believe that these islands are required to protect the airport. If naval authorities take shelter under the official secrecy phobia then Goans will be free to draw their own conclusions,' stated Naik's press release.
