When MPA has been given permission to increase its coal handling capacity by 4-5 million tonnes, its chairman is talking about not harming the environment. Goa is already being harmed due to hazardous cargo being handled at MPA like coal, bauxite etc. “It is clear that the new MVA chairman has not made any ground study before making statements of expanding the port’s cargo operations without harming the environment. “The MPA Chairman is going completely against the government policy and wishes of Goa and Goans. Every MPA chairman makes or gives such assurances, but have miserably failed to keep them.
