Adani Group's plan to build one of the largest coal mines in the world that had received a green signal from the federal and Queensland state governments end of last year has run into some fresh protests. This time eminent Australians including former captains of Australia cricket team Ian and Greg Chappell have urged Adani to drop the $21.7 billion Carmichael coal mine project near the Great Barrier Reef.

In a letter to Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani, prominent Australians have said, "It would be a great shame if this one project were to damage the image of India in Australia."
