Ministry of Environment and Ecology


SURVEY OF INDIA IS UNDER THIS MINSTRY






The Union Ministry of Environment and Ecology on 4 October 2012 rejected the Navy's proposal to set up a missile-testing site in Andaman and Nicobar islands, on the basis that the firing range would destroy the habitat of endangered birds in Nicobar Megapode, unique to the isles.
The megapode actually does not exist anywhere and it is a very unique species. It is too sensitive to withstand any such installation over there.
