- It is a part of Lakshadweep Islands
- It has disappeared due to coastal erosion
- Parali I island, part of Bangaram atoll which was 0.032 square km in 1968 has been eroded to an extent of 100%, resulting in its inundation.
- The complete erosion and inundation of Parali I is pointing to gravity of issues associated with coastal erosion within atoll.
- It calls for urgent measures to be implemented on each islet of the atoll in Lakshadweep sea to check further erosion.
- Further, due to increasing global temperature because of climate change, islands and coastal areas are facing erosion and inundation due to rising sea levels.
