Port Blair, June 14: The State President, BJP, Mr. R Mohan has requested the Lt. Governor and the Chief Secretary, A&N Administration to develop Lalaji Bay and Merk Bay sea beaches of Long Islands under PPP mode. He has stated that these beautiful destinations of Long Islands have marvellous potential to attract tourists but due to lack of required number of speed boats, cleaned toilets, changing rooms etc. tourists think twice before visiting these places.
Mohan thus requested to provide necessary infrastructures at these spots and allow adequate numbers of speed boats to Long Island connecting Havelock to Port Blair. He further advocated that the land allotted to the Forest Department for construction of office of the DFO and staff quarters may be allotted to the Directorate of Panchayat for construction of Tourist accommodation. This will fetch more tourists since the office of the DFO has been shifted to Rangat and the land along with a dilapidated building on it is lying unutilized.
The State President BJP also requested for deployment of life guards and police protection in these beachesand also North Bay, Corbyn’s Cove and other beaches of tourist interest to avoid any mishap.
