Residents Raise Environmental and Community Concerns Over Amazon and Google Data Centres
Residents in Thane and Visakhapatnam have protested proposed large-scale data centre projects by Amazon and Google, respectively, citing environmental and community concerns. Thane residents oppose Amazon's facility due to its location in a densely populated area, fearing heat, noise, emissions, and power disruptions. In Visakhapatnam, activists question Google's project over environmental clearances, water usage, and land allocation near wildlife sanctuaries. Both groups seek greater transparency and thorough environmental assessments before construction proceeds.
