Port Blair, Dec 12: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration to repair city roads on priority basis, which have sustained damages during Monsoon season.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration, the Member of Parliament said that as the monsoon season concludes, Andaman and Nicobar Islands are now entering a dry spell that is expected to last approximately 4 to 5 months.
He mentioned that this transition period offers an opportune time to address the significant road-related issues in Port Blair. “The heavy rainfall during the monsoon has resulted in the development of numerous problems across the city’s road, creating thousands of potholes and causing distress to the local population,” he added.
The Member of Parliament pointed out that critical routes, including Austinabad Road, New Pahar Gaon Road, Bhatu Basti to Dollygunj Road, and several other crucial stretches, demand immediate attention. The condition of these roads not only inconveniences the residents but also poses serious safety hazards, increasing the risk of accidents.
In this regard, he requested immediate initiation of road repair and maintenance projects.
He said that addressing these issues urgently will not only enhance the convenience of the general public but also contribute significantly to the safety of road users in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
