Port Blair, Dec 29: The Lt. Governor has expressed his displeasure over holding of public functions by various Departments/Agencies, erecting shamiyanas and enclosures on roads, and causing serious disruption in the flow of traffic and inconvenience to commuters.

He has expressed his displeasure over this state of affairs with the Police Department, the Office of the Deputy Commissioner and the PBMC. In this regard, he has issued strict directions that in future no public function shall be organised or allowed to come up on road or shamiyanas and other structures set up which cause disruption of traffic.
