Sri Vijaya Puram, November 13: A sanction of Rs. 3.14 crore has been secured for the construction of a major drain, footpath and handrails for the residents of Old Pahargaon, particularly near the Ram Temple and the adjoining areas, fulfilling a long-pending demand of the residents.
The residents had been facing severe waterlogging and flooding during heavy rains because of the absence of a proper major drainage system. The sanction has been secured through the continuous efforts and follow-up of Member of Parliament Mr. Bishnu Pada Ray, along with the persistent efforts of Ward Councillor Mr. Karunanidi of Ward No. 16.
The MP thanked the Andaman & Nicobar Administration and the Public Works Department (PWD) for sanctioning the project and addressing this long-standing demand of the local residents.
