The islanders have to be consulted before any change is imposed, they say

A group of retired bureaucrats wrote an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday to express concern over what it termed were “disturbing developments” in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep “in the name of development”.

Ninety-three former All India and Central services officers of the Constitutional Conduct Group wrote to Mr. Modi on the occasion of World Environment Day to raise concerns over the introduction of draft regulations on land and development. Among the signatories were former Environment and Forests Secretary Meena Gupta, former Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah and former Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh. The non-partisan group has raised concerns through its open letters about the Centre’s farm laws and the government response to the COVID-19 pandemic recently.

“We are a group of former civil servants of the All India and Central Services who have worked with the Central and State Governments in the course of our careers. As a group, we have no affiliation with any political party but believe in impartiality, neutrality and commitment to the Constitution of India. We write to you today to register our deep concern over disturbing developments taking place in the pristine Union Territory (UT) of Lakshadweep in the name of ‘development’”, the letter stated.

Referring to draft regulations introduced by Lakshadweep Administrator P.K. Patel, the group said the proposals were drafted without local consultation and were now with the Union Home Affairs Ministry for necessary approvals.
