OP - @Suryavanshi posted:

Diego Garica is an Indian Territory still under the occupation of US and British Military.
This thread will contain all discussion regarding it's Reclamation back into India.

However the official status:

Diego Garcia is an island of the British Indian Ocean Territory, a disputed overseas territory of the United Kingdom also claimed by Mauritius. It is a militarised atoll just south of the equator in the central Indian Ocean, and the largest of the 60 small islands of the Chagos Archipelago.

Diego Garcia actually lies in Chagos archipelago which belongs to Mauritius.

Mauritius hence claims Diego Garcia. In turn India officially supports Mauritius claim over the Island.

More details on the Island and presence of US and UK troops:

Diego Garcia "Camp Justice"

Diego Garcia is a British territory mostly populated by the US military, the British colony that's been colonised by the Americans. Normally the island is home to about 1,700 military personnel and 1,500 civilian contractors. But only about 50 troops are British. The island is used jointly by the Navy and the Air Force. Though the Navy contingent is larger, the Air Force does the flying.

Diego Garcia is a narrow tropical jungle reef in the Indian Ocean, about 1,000 miles south of the southern India coast. Despite the tropical feel to the reef, this is no Margaritaville. It's more of a stationary aircraft carrier. Diego Garcia is exclusively a military reservation located on a small host country atoll in the Chagos Archipelago.

A tropical footprint-shaped island just 7 degrees south of the equator, Diego Garcia is heavily vegetated. The island covers 6,720 acres in area with a maximum height of 22 feet and an average elevation of four feet above sea level. The shoreline is about 40 miles long and the island encloses a lagoon 6.5 miles wide and 13 miles long.​

The specific issue has its beginning on 3 October 2021 when a boat carrying about 60 Sri Lankan Tamils became distressed in the Indian Ocean and was rescued by the British Royal Navy and brought to the island of Diego Garcia. They have been stranded there for almost three years and some have sought legal remedies, claiming they are being unlawfully detained at Thunder Cove Camp in Diego Garcia.

Right.. It has just 4 feet average elevation. Its at mercy of mother nature. An earthquake and it will cease to exist. Otherwise global warming can do its work like it did for Tuvalu or Solomons islands.
