Demand an Immediate Injunction Against the Unlawful Great Nicobar Mega-Project
The Issue
This petition demands the immediate, unconditional halt of the Great Nicobar mega-infrastructure project. This venture is not merely an environmental disaster; it is a direct assault on our national ecological security and a flagrant violation of statutory environmental protections.
The project threatens to unlawfully decimate massive tracts of pristine rainforest within a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. This scale of ecological liquidation poses a direct, irreversible threat to critically endangered species, pushing them toward imminent extinction. Furthermore, this development violently encroaches upon the ancestral, legally protected territories of the vulnerable Shompen and Nicobarese indigenous tribes. Advancing this project threatens their very existence and constitutes a gross infringement of fundamental human rights.
The clearances granted for this venture are legally deficient. They actively circumvent crucial environmental regulatory frameworks and bypass the rigorous, objective assessments required by law. This blatant disregard for established legal statutes undermines the rule of law, violates the public trust doctrine, and sets a catastrophic precedent for the commercial exploitation of protected sovereign lands. Our irreplaceable biodiversity is not a commodity to be liquidated for short-term economic gain.
Numerous environmental experts and citizens demand absolute accountability and transparency. We mandate that the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), the National Green Tribunal (NGT), and the judiciary institute an immediate legal injunction against this project. It is imperative to revoke all legally dubious permissions and enforce the stringent legal standards designed to protect our natural resources.
The time for requests is over; we demand compliance with the law. Sign this petition to force an immediate cessation of this destructive mega-project and hold those responsible for this ecological travesty strictly accountable.
