Congress criticizes India's Great Nicobar project for environmental and tribal rights violations.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav for inadequate responses to concerns over the Great Nicobar infrastructure project, citing lack of transparency, insufficient environmental safeguards, and failure to consult tribal communities.
Ramesh highlighted risks to biodiversity, including endangered species and fragile coral systems, and questioned the ecological validity of compensatory afforestation in distant regions.
He accused the government of ignoring legal protections for the Shompen people and overlooking the project’s potential impacts in a seismically active, tsunami-prone area.
While the government promotes the project for national security and development, critics argue it undermines environmental and tribal rights, with ongoing legal challenges and disputes over clearances fueling skepticism.
