Sri Vijaya Puram, Sept 29: In a focused effort to tackle critical infrastructure challenges and promote sustainable development, a Camp Court was organized at the Gram Panchayat, Namunaghar, led by Shri Arjun Sharma, IAS, Deputy Commissioner of South Andaman.
During the meeting, the Pradhan of the Gram Panchayat presented a range of issues affecting the local community, including poor road conditions, inconsistent power supply, water management concerns, healthcare access, and the need for improvements in educational infrastructure. These concerns were formally brought to the attention of the Deputy Commissioner, who discussed potential solutions to enhance the overall quality of life for the residents.
Key issues highlighted included deteriorated rural roads, frequent power outages, the need for toilet construction and infrastructural upgrades at the Community Hall in the fishermen’s colony, the establishment of a 30-meter buffer zone for roads and power lines in areas near forests, the installation of a floating jetty at Mithakhari, and the upgradation of Government Senior Secondary School at Namunaghar, including adequate playground facilities. Additionally, concerns were raised about healthcare accessibility, irregular water supply, inadequate water tankers, the maintenance of sluice gates, the relocation of a high-risk transformer, the installation of benches and eco-huts, unlocking tourism potential at Viper Island, and repairs to the Dundas Point Jetty.
The Gram Panchayat also requested an increase in the frequency of ferry services in the area, prompting the Deputy Commissioner to direct the DSS to assess the feasibility of expanding vehicle ferry services.
The Deputy Commissioner assured the community that the District Administration, South Andaman, is dedicated to resolving these issues and will work in coordination with the concerned departments to implement necessary measures for the welfare and development of Gram Panchayat Namunaghar.
