The Supreme Court addressed the urgent need for rehabilitation of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands post-Tsunami, emphasizing the inadequacies in the relief efforts and the necessity for Lok Adalats to be established on affected islands for effective compensation. The Court recognized the challenges faced by the islanders, including lack of potable water, medical facilities, and suitable housing designs that were inappropriate for the local environment.
