The fact of the matter is that the innundation has happened and it is a permanent one. This is because the lay of the islands has been changed. With Port Blair roughly a pivot the Andamans in the north have seen an average uplift of 3-5 feet while the Nicobars have seen a subsidence of nearly 15 feet in places like Katchal island and Indira Point in Great Nicobar. <BR/>I had infact done a very detailed article on this for Frontline about a year ago and it can be accessed at http://www.hinduonnet.com/fline/fl2316/stories/20060825000206600.htm<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for the information on your book of short stories. Will certainly check out your blog for it. <BR/><BR/>I would also like to bring to your notice a very active egroup dedicated to the andaman and nicobar islands that I moderate. I will shortly send you an invite to join it as well. <BR/><BR/>many thanks<BR/>pankajPANKAJ SEKHSARIAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798223946431718400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8637557501276190731.post-56459362003744485262007-05-03T19:31:00.000+05:302007-05-03T19:31:00.000+05:30HiThe islands cannot afford any permanent inaundat...Hi<BR/><BR/>The islands cannot afford any permanent inaundation, and if it is so, god only knows what canbe done about them.<BR/><BR/>I read the post with a feeling of sadness, for I stayed there between 1995 and 1998. So clean and so pristine!<BR/><BR/>By the by, I've written a book of short stories, "The Remix of Orchid" which has been exclusively set in the Andamans. Mr RUSKIN BOND, the master storyteller of India, has given a foreword for it.<BR/><BR/>My weblog http://remixoforchid.blogspot.com gives some details about my book.
