Baratang, September 10: Amidst the current state of the pandemic, essential supplies are in the utmost importance for the Islanders but due to various restrictions and limitations for more than two months, no LPG cylinders were made available for people of Khari Basti and Nilambur areas of Baratang Island, Middle Andaman.
On September 7th, CCS issued LPG cylinders in Krishna Nagar and Oralkatcha in the midnight without any information about the distribution, because of which senior citizens, alongwith the people, who are not residing at the roadside were not able to get LPG Cylinders.
The next day when people reached the CCS unit of Baratang to get LPG cylinders, it was informed by the CCS manager that, no cylinders are available and the stock will be arriving after two days. But even today no cylinders were provided for the residents of Baratang region, which left many residents fuming.
When Andaman Sheekha contacted Mr.R.P.Singh, Secretary, CCS he said that the LPG cylinders were already shipped but due to bad road conditions, the vehicle suffered brake-down on ATR, which resulted in this delay.
Mr.Singh assured the public through Andaman Sheekha that above three hundred LPG cylinders will be delivered tomorrow at Baratang region which will be sufficient for the people of the area.
