Yes, I too saw this on the news. I am worried as I am due to fly to Goa on 1st March. Hope Thomson would fly us per schedule. Would be useful to get some info from people out there or those who return after this dreadful act by terrorists. and
People in Goa know nothing more than is in the link. Will have to wait and see but don't think this will affect Thomsons flying to Goa.
http://www.goanvoice.org.uk/ seems to have a collection of stories on it, looked on the TV this morning but it didn't show anything... I am not saying they are connected in the slightest, but a couple of days ago there were explosions heard (but not seen) near Palolem, apparently really loud according, but no one seems to know what the cause was...
The border was closed between Marahastra and Goa last night I think as a reaction to the blast in Pune..
My thoughts are with the poor victims...
UPDATE: Just had this from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)
