NGT Rules on Great Nicobar Project Report

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) has decided not to consider parts of a report about the Great Nicobar project that were not officially submitted.

The report was made by a special committee set up by the government.

An environmental activist, Ashish Kothari, had asked the NGT to look at the whole report, but the NGT said it would only consider the parts that were officially shared.

The government said the full report couldn't be shared because it contains secret information.

The project includes building a big port, a new town, an airport, and a power plant on Great Nicobar Island, which is very important for nature.

The NGT is still deciding if the project follows all the rules to protect the environment.
