I travelled through Great Nicobar today. These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow. The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs. The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away. This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language. So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime. It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

Great Indian Bustard, the Godavan bird used to be a hallmark of our desert regions. However, at one point, its numbers had dwindled to a trickle: PM @narendramodi #MannKiBaat #PMonAkashvani #MKBOnAkashvani @byadavbjp । @moefcc







A minimum of 9000 trees to be cut for Jolly Grant airport expansion in Uttarakhand, something we really need like we need mandatory holes in our heads. Enjoy more heat waves, people! They're coming! timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/…
