A draft plan to relocate Nicobarese tribal communities affected by the Union government's Great Nicobar Island (GNI) mega-infrastructure project has raised significant confusion among local leaders. The plan, prepared by the Andaman and Nicobar Islands administration, outlines a ₹42.52 crore proposal with a 24-month timeline for relocation from tsunami-affected areas. However, community leaders have expressed concerns about the lack of clarity regarding specific relocation sites and the families involved. They have requested a translated version of the draft to facilitate understanding and discussion within their community. The plan includes various components such as housing, land development, and community infrastructure, but it fails to address the rights of the Nicobarese under the 2006 Forest Rights Act, raising further apprehensions. The Tribal Council has reiterated its demand for a return to all ancestral villages, emphasizing that the proposal only mentions a limited number of villages. Ongoing consultations with district authorities have not yet resolved these issues, leaving the community uncertain about their future in relation to the GNI project.
