Congress has demanded the immediate suspension of all environment and forest clearances granted for the proposed “Holistic Development of Great Nicobar Island in Andaman & Nicobar Islands” on the grounds that it is a “grave threat to the region’s tribal communities and natural ecosystem”. In a statement issued on Monday, member of Parliament and Congress general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh said that there were numerous red flags over the proposed ₹72,000 crore “Mega Infra Project” in Great Nicobar Island, initiated in March 2021 at the instance of the NITI Aayog. He called for a suspension of all clearances and the conduct of an impartial review of the proposed project, including by parliamentary committees.
