Photo-feature of preparation for Defexpo. Realistic look at the area of the land to be handed over to the defence forces.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and his puppet government in Goa led by Chief Minister Laxmikant Parsekar have roughshod the people’s opposition to host the mega event ‘Defexpo and Aero show’ from 28^th to 31^st March 2016.

Preparation is on at the hectic pace with tight security. The State government has thrown a cordon of policemen outside the perimeter of the 6 lakhs sq.mts of land at strategic points.

Inside the campus of the Defexpo and Aero Show it is just the private security and bouncers who are controlling who gets in and out of the gates of the campus.

As the preparation are on 24 hours to meet the deadline, photography is not permitted at all. However I managed to take pictures from the moving car.
