Port Blair, Sept 08: Mr. Vishal Jolly, Former State President & Core-Committee Member, BJP A & N Islands & Member, Home Ministry Advisory Committee, GoI has demanded hostel facilities for the students hailing from inter-islands through a letter addressed to Chief Secretary, A & N Administration and Secretary, Department of Education, A & N Administration.
In his letter Mr. Jolly wrote that A & N Administration has announced re-opening of all the Colleges such as JNRM, ANCOL, TGCE, DBRAIT at Port Blair from 06th September, 2021 onwards and large numbers of students hailing from inter-islands undergo studies at these institutions/colleges. Most of them doesn’t have any place to reside while carrying out their respective studies in Port Blair.
He further added that the Hostel facilities have not been provided yet and without making necessary arrangements for providing accommodation facilities for them, re-opening of the Colleges ought not have been declared. The people hailing from inter-islands have already suffered badly due to their travel restrictions imposed since past several months. Now this is adding fuel to their hardships.
Concluding in his letter he requested the Administration to provide Hostel facilities for all the inter-island students at the earliest.
