Port Blair, Feb 12: Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma, Member of Parliament, A&N Islands has requested the Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman to make arrangements to construct a rest room with basic amenities of drinking water and toilet for the ATR Truck Drivers/Helpers at suitable location in Ferrargunj to facilitate them to take rest.
He informed that they are carrying various goods items through heavy goods vehicles to North & Middle Andaman on ATR to maintain supply chain of essential goods and other materials for the residents including Govt. departments in the North & North Andaman. For this purpose, they leave Port Blair at mid-night so that there is no traffic conjunction on ATR.
These drivers go and halt at Ferrargunj to catch morning convoy. If a rest room is constructed at Ferrargunj, they will take rest till their movement on ATR convoy which would be a great relief for them.
