Construction of a massive Google data centre in the Indian city of Visakhapatnam has been met with resistance from residents who fear the impact on the environment and their lives.
Activists in the state of Andhra Pradesh are demanding a moratorium on new data centres across the state until independent environmental and social impact evaluations are published.
