Jairam Ramesh Cites Lack of Transparency in Latest Letter Regarding Great Nicobar Project

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has again raised concerns about the Great Nicobar project, specifically highlighting a lack of transparency in a recent letter addressed to the Environment Minister. Ramesh's latest communication follows previous criticisms from the Congress party on June 17, 2026. At that time, the party had strongly opposed the transshipment port planned for Galathea Bay. They argued that the project poses a severe ecological risk, predicting widespread destruction of coral colonies. The Congress has consistently called for greater openness in the project's approval process. Ramesh's continued focus on transparency underscores the party's ongoing scrutiny of the development.

This highlights ongoing political and environmental scrutiny of major infrastructure projects, emphasizing concerns about transparency and ecological impact in development decisions.
