An Indian billionaire's plan to build a series of floating
"eco-tourist" cities on the Sundarbans, the world's biggest mangrove
swamp, is being opposed by campaigners who say it amounts to the
"total destruction" of the pristine delta system.
Subrata Roy's £78m project includes medical centres, a casino, a golf
course and five-star hotels on four islands linked by speedboats in
the wetland straddling the border with Bangladesh.
