On this issue, Sharma has now written a letter to the Deputy Commissioner, Middle and North Andaman stating that the villages of Austin IV and Borang which are very old encroachments and allotted lands, are on ATR Road under Forest cover. To reach to Bus stand people have to cross a path covered with Jungle and after reaching to their destination, these villagers have to wait for their bus either under scorching sunlit or heavy shower.
