Why is the northern sentinel island forbidden to visit

Answers

Answered by karannnn43

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes Act of 1956 prohibits travel to the island and any approach closer than five nautical miles (9.26 km) in order to prevent the resident tribespeople from contracting diseases to which they have no immunity.

The area is patrolled by the Indian Navy.
