Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

How far is Diu from Bombay and what are the means to travel?
Pretty far. The only way is by rail/road. There's no sea travel. Air links to the nearest place is I think Rajkot?

NPOV?
Goa, Daman, and Diu were liberated by the Republic of India on
December 19,
1961
The colonial Portugese came thousands of miles to occupy Daman and Diu and other territory of India. Indians (People of Daman and Diu and other part of the great Indian nation) liberated it from the Portugese colonial rule after a long freedom struggle.
The military option was the last one since Portugese was holding on to Indian territory using military means and the Portugese has no right to claim Indian land. Even the Portugese government has later admitted it.
All of which is irrelevant. The fact is that "liberated" is a value judgment, and as such has no place in Wikipedia. Wikipedia presents the facts, it does not offer an opinion on whether something is right or not. While it is not always easy to do so, we need to ensure that we use neutral language wherever possible. For that reason, both "liberated" and "invasion" are unacceptable.

Stupid recording
it's a non-english place name yet it is said in english, so what's the benefit and point of the recording? it's not a 'pronunciation', and thus i am removing it. really all we have here is that an indian spoke it... lolz.

Hi, Tuncrypt,
Please, behave yourself, would you?
As a beginning, here you may find what
Wikipedia is and is not.
Then, please kindly rearrange and express your ideas, if any, in comprehensible and polite manners.
None of us, not even you, have the whole of the thing, believe me.
This place is harworkingly beeing built and rebuilt with the help of many well-intentioned contributors.
Avoidance of swearwords and insults is additionally appreciated.
According to "The Goa, Daman and Diu Official Language Act, 1987"[1] and the "Commissioner Linguistic Minorities 42nd Report, 2003"[2], the official languages in Daman and Diu are Gujarati, Marathi and English. No mention of Portuguese is made anymore.
Regards,

Excellent, but there is no more a "Goa, Daman and Diu territory", to which this doicument makes reference. Today we have Goa state, and Daman and Diu territory. Besides that, ethnologue website says Portuguese is an official language in Goa:
