Sonia Gandhi has described the proposed mega-infrastructure project on the Great Nicobar Island as serious and worrying. He says that this project violates the rights of tribal communities and makes fun of the dignity of legal processes and dialogue. Sonia Gandhi has told about it in detail in an article.

In an article published in The Hindu, Sonia Gandhi said, “Two main tribal communities live on the Great Nicobar Island- Nikobari and Shompan. The villages of Nikobari tribals fall into the proposed land of this project. During the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, these people were forced to leave their village. Now due to this project, these communities will lose their dreams of returning to the land of their forefathers. According to the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs, their safety and goodness in large development projects should be given priority. Despite this, their reserved forest areas are being removed for this project, which will make their traditional life in crisis. “

Sonia Gandhi said this big thing

Sonia Gandhi said that the bodies made to protect tribal rights made by the Constitution and the law were sidelined in the entire process. Not only the National Commission was not advised, but the President of the Tribal Council was also not heard.

He further said, “The environmental influence of the project is also serious. It is estimated that about 15% of the jungle of the island will be cut for this project, which includes more than 8.5 lakh trees. According to some independent reports, this number can range from 32 lakh to 58 lakh trees. The government’s proposed solution is” Commonian Afforestation “, but this solution cannot be filled with that regional and biological diversity.”

The port of the project is also being built in a sensitive coastal area (CRZ 1A), where there are turtle nests and coral reefs. Apart from this, this area is also sensitive to earthquake and tsunami.

Shompan and Nicobari communities are in danger in danger: Sonia Gandhi

Sonia Gandhi says that when the existence of Shompan and Nicobari communities is in danger, our collective conscience cannot remain silent. It is our responsibility to perform our duties towards future generations and this unique ecosystem and raise voice against this injustice and national values.
