Port Blair, Feb 20: On February 18, a large number of protesters at Hutbay were protesting against the Administration for sending only 1000 LPG Cylinders for Little Andaman. On information from public Deputy Commissioner of South Andaman, Mr. Suneel Anchipaka took swift action and held several meeting at Port Blair and spoke to senior authorities and issued directions to concerned agencies to offload nearly 3500 LPG Cylinders at Hut Bay for the residents of Little Andaman, who have been facing severe shortage of LPG Cylinders since last four months.
Talking to Andaman Sheekha some villagers of Little Andaman said that only because of the sincere efforts of the Deputy Commissioner of South Andaman, Little Andaman Island got nearly 3500 LPG Cylinders, which will be enough to meet the local requirements to a great extent atleast for a month.
Meanwhile talking to Andaman Sheekha Mr. Vasudevan Nair, former Zilla Parishad member of Little Andaman said in coming days the Administration must develop some mechanism to ensure that every month sufficient quantity of LPG Cylinders reach Little Andaman and always a buffer stock of nearly 2000 to 3000 LPG cylinder is maintained at Little Andaman, considering the remoteness of the Island.
