The Congress party has described the proposed Rs 72,000crore infra upgrade at the Great Nicobar Island as a “grave threat” to the island’s indigenous inhabitants and fragile ecosystem and demanded “immediate suspension of all clearances” and a “thorough, impartial review of the proposed project, including by the Parliamentary committees concerned". Great Nicobar is the southernmost and largest of the Nicobar Islands, a sparsely inhabited 910sqkm patch of mainly tropical rainforest in southeastern Bay of Bengal. Indira Point on the island, India’s southernmost point, is only 90 nautical miles (less than 170 km) from Sabang at the northern tip of Sumatra, the largest island of the Indonesian archipelago. Great Nicobar has two national parks, a biosphere reserve, small populations of the Shompen and Nicobarese tribal peoples, and a few thousand nontribal settlers. The proposed Rs 72,000crore infra upgrade at the Great Nicobar Island is facing criticism from conservationists. Why does India want to develop the island, and what does the proposed project entail?
