Port Blair, Oct 04: The South Andaman region grapples with a recurring issue of severe water scarcity every summer. However, post-monsoon, life usually returns to normalcy, and the memory of the struggle tends to fade. Together with the general public the Administration also takes things too lightly and the best example could be seen behind the campus of GSSS Rabindra Banga Vidyalaya, Port Blair where a leaking pipe of APWD has been waiting for repair for the last 15 days.
For the past 15 days, an APWD water service line has been leaking incessantly, despite registering multiple complaints on the central help number by a responsible citizen.
As per details after complaint, some officials visited the site, documented the leakage, but the issue remains unaddressed. Consequently, a significant amount of water is being wasted daily.
The APWD water service line that runs behind GSSS Rabindra Banga Vidyalaya demands immediate attention. Such negligence underscores the pressing need for the Andaman and Nicobar Administration to take water management more seriously.
