​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Indira Point lighthouse was commissioned into service on 30 April 1972. Located 500 kilometres north of the epicenter of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, the southernmost tip subsided 4.25 metres after the earthquake, and many of the inhabitants went missing in the tsunami that followed.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Indira Point is situated in the Great Nicobar group of Island in Andaman Nicobar Islands. It is not visible today because it was submerged under the sea in the 2004 Tsunami. It was named after former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The point was formerly know as Pygmalion Point and Parson Point. It was renamed in mid-1980s in honour of Indira Gandhi.
