In 2021, the Modi government unveiled its plan to build a mega infrastructural project on the Great Nicobar Island, the southernmost island of India. In the run-up to the announcement, a crucial government map of the island changed. Corals that hugged Great Nicobar’s coastline disappeared on the map – only to reappear in the middle of the sea.
In this episode of True Story, Scroll’s Executive Editor Supriya Sharma speaks to environment reporter Vaishnavi Rathore about how she broke the story and why it is significant.
