Port Blair, Oct 08: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma today requested the Chief Secretary to schedule weekly two sailing of ships/boats for Diglipur, Mayabunder and Rangat region so that people can safely and comfortably travel between North and Middle Andaman and Port Blair without fearing for their safety.
In his letter addressed to the Chief Secretary the Member of Parliament today mentioned that after the recent intervention of the Chief Secretary, the work for upgradation of Andaman Trunk Road has gained speed but due to continuous rain and various other logistic and technical shortcomings the condition of Andaman Trunk Road from Baratang to Diglipur still remains worrisome.
The MP added that worst hit are the patients, old age people and children who have to travel through the slushy Andaman Trunk Road, risking their lives. Not only this, all other ATR commuters fear for the safety of their lives and vehicles everytime they cross Andaman Trunk Road.
Hence he requested to schedule weekly two sailing of ships/boats for Diglipur, Mayabunder and Rangat region for larger interest of public.
