Mrs. Suniti Halder, BJP District President alleged in her speech that the CHC, Diglipur is reportedly in a bad state. In emergency, patients have to face delays in evacuation by the helicopter reportedly due to the failure and dereliction of the CHC management.

The Pramukh, Diglipur Mr. Dipankar Mistry lashed out at the District Administration, N & M Andaman for its alleged non-fulfilment and non-performance. He pointed out that, despite repeated pleas, the District Administration is not delivering its works properly as a result of which common people are suffering. He also hinted at some officials’ taking bribes and warned them to refrain from such illegal acts which are unbecoming of officials. He also urged the administration to sincerely work for the public.
Dr. R. Devdas also addressed the meeting in which he read out a number of schemes of the Modi-Govt which have benefited the people at large.

Devdas said.
Leading a scathing attack on the District Administration, N & M Andaman, Mr. AjoyBairagi, the BJP Pradesh Adhyaksh, A & N Islands alleged that the Administration of the Madhyauttor Andaman has been deliberately ignoring the interests of the people of this district.

He further said, permits in respect of earth-cutting have been stopped as a result, developmental works like construction of roads are being thwarted, while people requiring earth-cutting for developing their land are also being severely hampered. Mr. Bairagi, also pointed out that, issuance of valuation certificate for land disposal, diversion of land to house site and commercial etc. have been pigeonholed and consequently the stakeholders are facing severe inconveniences while the District Administration remains allegedly insensitive to these issues and to those denizens of these islands who saw the worst days in the initial days of their settlement when they had to adopt the policy of survival of the fittest, he further alleged.
The BJP State President further said that he has observed all these irregularities of the administration silently for the past few months and he has had enough of tolerating these irregularities and non-performance of the administration which is not at all good.
Sounding aggressive, Mr. Bairagi gave an ultimatum of 15-20 days to the District Administration, N & M Andaman that, if the administration doesn’t start functioning in the interests of the people of this district, grievances aren’t properly addressed and redressed, he would mount a mass agitation, bandh etc. across the N & M Andaman District right from Baratang to Diglipur, the report further said.
