Trinket (village)

Trinket was a panchayat village located on Trinket Island, in the Nicobar district of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. In 2001 its population was 244.[1] However, shortly after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the entire population, along with that of the rest of the island, was evacuated to neighboring islands, principally Nancowry.[2] and Kamorta, where they were settled in a government-built village named Vikas Nagar.[3]
