Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has expressed opposition to the Great Nicobar Island Project in a letter to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, citing concerns over its potential ecological impacts. Ramesh has urged the government to explore alternative approaches to national defense that would be more environmentally sustainable.
Coverage of Ramesh's letter varies slightly among outlets. The Times of India and Hindustan Times both emphasize the ecological disaster aspect of the project, framing Ramesh's letter as a significant critique. The Hindu, while also highlighting the ecological concerns, places a stronger focus on the need for sustainable alternatives in national defense. None of the outlets provided extensive background on the project's specific details or the government's rationale for pursuing it.
