"It Is An Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier & A Jugular Choke Point": LG Admiral DK Joshi Breaks Silence On Great Nicobar!

In an exclusive interview with India Today TV’s Gaurav Sawant, Admiral D.K. Joshi (Retd.), Lieutenant Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, forcefully defended the ₹72,000-crore Great Nicobar Island project against critics. Labeling the island chain as an "unsinkable aircraft carrier" and a vital strategic "jugular" dominating the Indo-Pacific trade corridors, Admiral Joshi dismissed allegations of environmental devastation and corporate favoritism. He explicitly confirmed that the project will cause zero tribal displacement, has strict court-monitored green clearances, and unveiled a massive parallel blueprint to transform the archipelago into a premier global hub for scuba diving and niche tourism.
