Port Blair, Apr 27: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Lt. Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to consider constructing a 50-bedded guest house specifically designed for Divyang people in Port Blair.
In a letter addressed to the Lt. Governor the Member of Parliament mentioned that he has been informed by a large number of Divyang brothers and sisters that they face immense difficulty in carrying out their daily activities in Port Blair city, whenever they visit Port Blair from remote Islands.
He said that one of the major issues that they face is the lack of specific lodging facilities for Divyang people in Port Blair. Every month, a lot of Divyang people have to travel to Port Blair for various purposes like education, treatment, office work, etc.
The Member of Parliament pointed out that due to the absence of a dedicated guest house for Divyang brothers and sisters, they have to either stay in lodges or in relectives’ houses, which do not provide the necessary facilities for Divyang people.
Considering this issue, he requested the Lt. Governor to consider constructing a 50-bedded guest house specifically designed for Divyang people in Port Blair.
He added that this guest house should be equipped with all the modern amenities that will cater to the special needs of Divyang people, making their stay in Port Blair comfortable and hassle-free.
“Not only will this initiative provide them with financial relief, but it will also provide them with the convenience of movement and accessibility,” he added.
