‎New Delhi, Jun 3 (UNI) Congress general secretary in-charge of communications Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday renewed his criticism of the proposed Great Nicobar Island development project, saying he had sent a fresh communication to union Environment, Forests and Climate Change Minister Bhupender Yadav as part of an ongoing exchange over what he described as the project's potentially severe environmental consequences.
‎In a post on X, Ramesh said that for the past two years he and the Environment Minister had been engaged in a “running exchange of communications” on the ambitious infrastructure project planned for Great Nicobar Island. While reiterating his opposition to the project, he remarked that “ecological havoc is assured,” but added that the continued correspondence reflected the existence of “democratic windows of engagement” that offered some hope.
