Construction Project in Dabolim Airport Funnel Zone

under construction

An ongoing construction project involving excavation and hill-cutting within the funnel zone of Dabolim Airport in South Goa has raised serious safety and legal concerns. The project is being carried out by a Delhi-based proponent on agricultural Comunidade land, which is protected and designated for cultivation. The construction has resumed despite prior objections and a stop-work order, with permissions allegedly granted by the South Goa Collector's office. The project is criticized for ignoring aviation safety norms and lacking necessary Naval approvals.
