India, Feb. 13 -- MLA Sankalp Amonkar on Thursday asserted that Dabolim Airport will never be closed and accused South Goa MP Viriato Fernandes of misleading people by spreading false information, particularly during election periods.

Speaking while laying the foundation stone for retaining wall works at Khapreshwar Temple in Sada, Amonkar said Fernandes has a habit of creating fear among the public by making baseless claims.

He further stated that Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, along with other ministers, have held a series of meetings on the issue.
