One of Lakshadweep's 36 islands has vanished, claims study
Uninhabited Lakshadweep island Parali I, which is a part of the Bangaram Atoll, has disappeared because of coastal soil erosion, according to a study. The island, which was 0.032 sq km in 1968 has reportedly eroded fully, resulting in its inundation. The study further observed that all five Bangaram Atoll islets have undergone coastal erosion.
