Kolkata, New Delhi, INDIA. New York, USA.
Business To Business, New Delhi, 02 January, 2026: The Congress asserted that the government's swift endorsement of projects amounting to crores in an ecologically sensitive region such as Great Nicobar poses a significant threat to the entire area.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh remarked that these initiatives will not only cause irreversible harm to the delicate ecology of the region but will also systematically marginalize the survival of indigenous communities.
"The government's rapid approval of aggressive projects valued at thousands of crores under the guise of development in an ecologically highly sensitive area like Great Nicobar, motivated by greed and a lack of foresight, will ultimately result in a perilous and long-lasting tragedy for the entire region.
