What's happening in Lakshadweep? | NL Cheatsheet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEzxVnhxVMI Protests have erupted on the #Lakshadweep Islands, a small union territory off the coast of Kerala, after the administrator, former #BJP minister #PrafulKhodaPatel, issued sweeping legal diktats that threaten the sociocultural and religious identities and practices of the people, the sensitive ecology, and economy. The island is also struggling with a rise in #Covid infections after Patel relaxed the quarantine rules.
Praful Khoda Patel in the last five months of his rule, which also saw the archipelago descend from being a ‘COVID-free region’ for nearly a year into one with 6,847 cases until May 24.. The 10 inhabited islands of the Union Territory are under lockdown for two months now and the Dweep administration is accused of exploiting the inability of the public to mobilise to push what’s widely seen by the islanders as ‘arbitrary legislations’ that are out of sync with the social, political and environmental realities of the archipelago. The latest draft regulation for the creation of a Lakshadweep Development Authority (LDA) is widely resented as the people suspect that this might have been issued at the behest of ‘real estate interests’ seeking to usurp the small holdings of property owned by the islanders, a majority of them (94.8% as per the 2011 census) belonging to the Scheduled Tribes.
Save Lakshadweep: From Beef to Alcohol, A Man called Praful Patel & Anger Among the People https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpZbhCCikfM MOJO Story The new reforms endanger the livelihoods and culture of the indigenous population of Lakshadweep and endanger the natural habitat of the islands. The natives of Lakshadweep have voiced their dissent concerning the new reforms. Several opposition leaders as well as, BJP leaders have also voiced their opinions against the said reforms.

Untrammelled Power by Lakshadweep Administrator is Against Democracy b yRohan Wadhwa and Mahak Tanwar May 29, 2021
In India, judicial review cannot take place regarding the legitimacy of the aim or reason of the order. However, judicial inquiry can be done to check if the purpose can be achieved by a less restrictive alternative, i.e., “necessity” of the action. Secondly, it can check whether any executive action is justified in the interest of democratic society i.e., balancing of the order with the interests of society.
The controversial regulations which are brought by the administrator are not justified in the interest of a democratic society.
