oh !! What will be the Future of Great NIcobar Island..

"Trip to Galathia River Turtle Hatching Beach" was a facebook post writing of mine a year ago. Today an article published in the Times of India read 9 lakhs trees to be axed in Great Nicobar Island to give space for 75,000 crore worth project of transhipment port and other facility at Galthea Bay. A fragile nature truly will doom towards causality. It made to present the same post in nostalgic memory.

There goes a party fun and dance song in English..." If you looking for a pleasant holiday... Come to Bombay.. come to Bombay.. Bombay meri hai..". So if you happen to be in Great Nicobar, Campbell Bay, you must visit Galathia River, It is the longest salt water river of the Andaman and Nicobar Archipelago. But the main attraction and magnetism of this famous spot is known for its Turtle Hatching seasons, where the official of the wild life Forest explain and explore for us about 6 types of Turtles who travel miles to lay their eggs. The fine beaches are best suited for the laying of eggs, which are specifically collected and recorded by Volunteers. They are well protected by Wildlife volunteers of the department in Build-in Hatcheries, and when hatched by nature they are helped to swim into Ocean towards their instinctive home, which is said to be Australia and various Pacific Ocean Areas. Anyhow it's s sensitive adventure to watch to Turtles arriving in evenings and find spots to dig hard and lay eggs and protect it by digging deceptive holes as well. They seem shy creatures as upon light flashes, they retrieve their position or halt their laying process. They can be crying or shedding tears after long duration of digging and laying eggs. It must be a feeling of labour pain like in Humans. That's so wonderful, awesome and mind-boggling. So my song goes ...." If you are looking for a wonderful nature Holiday... Come to Great Nicobar.. Campbell Bay.... Galathia...Beach.."
