Now, Mopa p’yats flag ‘secret’ racing event plan

The proposed Indian Tec Festival at the Goa Street Circuit near Manohar Intemational Airport, Mopa, has triggered unease among local village panchayats, who say they have been completely kept in the dark about an event planned within or abutting their jurisdiction.

Tamboxem-Mopa-Ugvem Sarpanch Subodh Mahale has openly objected to the lack of communication, stating that the panchayat came to know about the high-profile motorsport event only through media reports.

“Nobody has officially informed us about this event or even explained where exactly it will be held. There should have been a proper dialogue with the local panchayat body before making such announcements,” Mahale said.
