2021 map no longer shows Galathea Bay

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ New Delhi

THE Congress slammed the Centre on Friday over a media report claiming that official maps of Great Nicobar Island were altered to remove corals.

The party said this was not an ecological update but a “bureaucratic rewrite” designed to bypass environmental safeguards.

The opposition party alleged that when reality stands in the way of corporate ambition, the Narendra Modi government simply redraws it. Congress general secretary in charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, shared on X a media report claiming that between 2020 and 2021, corals vanished from the maps of the Great Nicobar island’s coastline, while vital green zones were dramatically reduced in size.
