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.
