&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The proposed construction of a mega financial-tourist complex on Little Andaman Island will place at risk a fragile ecosystem and result in habitat loss of the vulnerable Onge tribe and rare wildlife&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A plan for the sustainable and holistic development of the 680 sq km, fragile Little Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar group has raised the alarm among conservationists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;Sustainable Development of Little Andaman Island - Vision Document&amp;rsquo;, is the NITI Aayog&amp;rsquo;s proposal to leverage the strategic location and natural features of the island. This, the vision says, will be done by building a new greenfield coastal city there, that will be developed as a free trade zone and will compete with Singapore and Hong Kong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The proposal is pivoted along three development anchors and zones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Zone 1 &amp;mdash; spread over 102 sq km along the east coast of Little Andaman &amp;mdash; will be the financial district and medi city and will include an aerocity, and a tourism and hospital district. Spread over 85 sq km of pristine forest, Zone 2, the leisure zone, will have a film city, a residential district and a tourism SEZ. Zone 3 &amp;mdash; on 52 sq km of pristine forest &amp;mdash; will be a nature zone, further categorised into three districts: an exclusive forest resort, a nature healing district and a nature retreat, all on the western coast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There will be &amp;lsquo;underwater&amp;rsquo; resorts, casinos, golf courses, convention centres, plug-and-play office complexes, a drone port with fully automated drone delivery system, nature cure institutes and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An international airport capable of handling all types of aircraft will be central to this development vision because &amp;ldquo;all successful case studies and references&amp;rdquo; studied by the visioning team indicate that an international airport is key for development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The only jetty on the island will be expanded and a marina will be developed next to the tourist entertainment district. A 100 km greenfield ring road will be constructed parallel to the coastline from east to west and will be supplemented with a mass rapid transit network with stations at regular intervals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A plan for the sustainable and holistic development of the 680 sq km, fragile Little Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar group has raised the alarm among conservationists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;Sustainable Development of Little Andaman Island - Vision Document&amp;rsquo;, is the NITI Aayog&amp;rsquo;s proposal to leverage the strategic location and natural features of the island. This, the vision says, will be done by building a new greenfield coastal city there, that will be developed as a free trade zone and will compete with Singapore and Hong Kong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The proposal is pivoted along three development anchors and zones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Zone 1 &amp;mdash; spread over 102 sq km along the east coast of Little Andaman &amp;mdash; will be the financial district and medi city and will include an aerocity, and a tourism and hospital district.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An international airport capable of handling all types of aircraft will be central to this development vision because &amp;ldquo;all successful case studies and references&amp;rdquo; studied by the visioning team indicate that an international airport is key for development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The only jetty on the island will be expanded and a marina will be developed next to the tourist entertainment district.

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The proposed construction of a mega financial-tourist complex on Little Andaman Island will place at risk a fragile ecosystem and result in habitat loss of the vulnerable Onge tribe and rare wildlife&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A plan for the sustainable and holistic development of the 680 sq km, fragile Little Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar group has raised the alarm among conservationists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;Sustainable Development of Little Andaman Island - Vision Document&amp;rsquo;, is the NITI Aayog&amp;rsquo;s proposal to leverage the strategic location and natural features of the island. This, the vision says, will be done by building a new greenfield coastal city there, that will be developed as a free trade zone and will compete with Singapore and Hong Kong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The proposal is pivoted along three development anchors and zones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Zone 1 &amp;mdash; spread over 102 sq km along the east coast of Little Andaman &amp;mdash; will be the financial district and medi city and will include an aerocity, and a tourism and hospital district. Spread over 85 sq km of pristine forest, Zone 2, the leisure zone, will have a film city, a residential district and a tourism SEZ. Zone 3 &amp;mdash; on 52 sq km of pristine forest &amp;mdash; will be a nature zone, further categorised into three districts: an exclusive forest resort, a nature healing district and a nature retreat, all on the western coast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There will be &amp;lsquo;underwater&amp;rsquo; resorts, casinos, golf courses, convention centres, plug-and-play office complexes, a drone port with fully automated drone delivery system, nature cure institutes and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An international airport capable of handling all types of aircraft will be central to this development vision because &amp;ldquo;all successful case studies and references&amp;rdquo; studied by the visioning team indicate that an international airport is key for development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The only jetty on the island will be expanded and a marina will be developed next to the tourist entertainment district. A 100 km greenfield ring road will be constructed parallel to the coastline from east to west and will be supplemented with a mass rapid transit network with stations at regular intervals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The proposed construction of a mega financial-tourist complex on Little Andaman Island will place at risk a fragile ecosystem and result in habitat loss of the vulnerable Onge tribe and rare wildlife&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;A plan for the sustainable and holistic development of the 680 sq km, fragile Little Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar group has raised the alarm among conservationists.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The &amp;lsquo;Sustainable Development of Little Andaman Island - Vision Document&amp;rsquo;, is the NITI Aayog&amp;rsquo;s proposal to leverage the strategic location and natural features of the island. This, the vision says, will be done by building a new greenfield coastal city there, that will be developed as a free trade zone and will compete with Singapore and Hong Kong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The proposal is pivoted along three development anchors and zones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Zone 1 &amp;mdash; spread over 102 sq km along the east coast of Little Andaman &amp;mdash; will be the financial district and medi city and will include an aerocity, and a tourism and hospital district. Spread over 85 sq km of pristine forest, Zone 2, the leisure zone, will have a film city, a residential district and a tourism SEZ. Zone 3 &amp;mdash; on 52 sq km of pristine forest &amp;mdash; will be a nature zone, further categorised into three districts: an exclusive forest resort, a nature healing district and a nature retreat, all on the western coast.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There will be &amp;lsquo;underwater&amp;rsquo; resorts, casinos, golf courses, convention centres, plug-and-play office complexes, a drone port with fully automated drone delivery system, nature cure institutes and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An international airport capable of handling all types of aircraft will be central to this development vision because &amp;ldquo;all successful case studies and references&amp;rdquo; studied by the visioning team indicate that an international airport is key for development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The only jetty on the island will be expanded and a marina will be developed next to the tourist entertainment district. A 100 km greenfield ring road will be constructed parallel to the coastline from east to west and will be supplemented with a mass rapid transit network with stations at regular intervals.&lt;/p&gt;

NITI Aayog's megacity plan for Little Andaman alarms conservationists -Pankaj Sekhsaria

-The Hindu The proposed construction of a mega financial-tourist complex on Little Andaman Island will place at risk a fragile ecosystem and result in habitat loss of the vulnerable Onge tribe and rare wildlife A plan for the sustainable and holistic development of the 680 sq km, fragile Little Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar group has raised the alarm among conservationists. The ‘Sustainable Development of Little Andaman Island - Vision Document’, is the NITI Aayog’s proposal to leverage the strategic location and natural features of the island. This, the vision says, will be done by building a new greenfield coastal city there, that will be developed as a free trade zone and will compete with Singapore and Hong Kong. The proposal is pivoted along three development anchors and zones. Zone 1 — spread over 102 sq km along the east coast of Little Andaman — will be the financial district and medi city and will include an aerocity, and a tourism and hospital district. Spread over 85 sq km of pristine forest, Zone 2, the leisure zone, will have a film city, a residential district and a tourism SEZ. Zone 3 — on 52 sq km of pristine forest — will be a nature zone, further categorised into three districts: an exclusive forest resort, a nature healing district and a nature retreat, all on the western coast. There will be ‘underwater’ resorts, casinos, golf courses, convention centres, plug-and-play office complexes, a drone port with fully automated drone delivery system, nature cure institutes and more. An international airport capable of handling all types of aircraft will be central to this development vision because “all successful case studies and references” studied by the visioning team indicate that an international airport is key for development. The only jetty on the island will be expanded and a marina will be developed next to the tourist entertainment district. A 100 km greenfield ring road will be constructed parallel to the coastline from east to west and will be supplemented with a mass rapid transit network with stations at regular intervals.
