Lakshadweep MP Mohammad Faizal has advocated for a "controlled way of tourism" on the islands, highlighting the Union Territory's fragile ecosystem. In an interview to NDTV, Faizal explained that Lakshadweep's environment is "very sensitive and ecologically very fragile," making it unsuitable for large-scale tourism like that of "Juhu Beach or Goa". The National Congress Party (NCP) lawmaker's statement follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit, which sparked increased tourist interest in the island.
