Port Blair, May 12: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration to completely reconstruct the Lorozig Bridge in Baratang Island.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration, the Member of Parliament said that the RCC bridge near Lorozig area of Baratang Island, situated close to the Forest Nursery, is in a deplorable condition. Its current state compromises the safety of NH4 commuters who rely on this crucial route for their daily travel.

He added that particularly during heavy rainfall in the monsoon season, the nallah under the bridge often floods, causing the water level to rise significantly, sometimes surpassing the height of the bridge itself. This recurrent flooding not only poses immediate dangers to commuters but also weakens the structural integrity of the bridge over time.

The Member of Parliament mentioned that in case of any damage in the bridge the entire North and Middle Andaman will get disconnected from Port Blair. Considering the critical role of NH4 in facilitating transportation and connectivity in the region, it is imperative that immediate action be taken to address this pressing issue, he added.

Hence he requested the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration to order complete reconstruction of the Lorozig bridge. “This reconstruction is essential to ensure the safety and well-being of passengers travelling on NH4, not only in the present but also in the years to come,” he added.

Port Blair, May 10: In a concerted effort to address concerns over the nutritional adequacy of meals served to patients at GB Pant Hospital, the Andaman Nicobar Territorial Congress President Mr. Rangalal Halder has submitted a formal request to the Secretary (Health) of the A & N Administration.

Mr. Halder stated that, in prioritizing the nutritional needs of patients, it is essential to ensure that meals served are not only diverse but also to provide the necessary nutrients for recovery of the patients.
Recognizing the pivotal role of nutrition in patient care, Mr. Halder urged swift intervention to revise the meal service at GB Pant Hospital to significantly enhance the patient outcomes and satisfaction in the Medical Premises.

Port Blair, May 07: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration to increase the number of sailings of ships between Car Nicobar and Port Blair during this vacation period. Specifically, he proposed scheduling the MV Kalighat, MV Sindhu or MV Nalanda to operate thrice a month to ensure that residents have regular and reliable transportation options.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary the Member of Parliament mentioned that large number of people including the residents of Car Nicobar islands and Government Servants posted at Car Nicobar are facing severe hardships due to the unavailability of ships and the significant gap between their schedules for travel between Car Nicobar and Port Blair.
He added that as the summer vacation has commenced, there has been a surge in the number of people wishing to travel between Car Nicobar and Port Blair. However, the current ship schedule poses significant challenges for the residents.
The Member of Parliament pointed out that the last ship scheduled for Car Nicobar was on May 2nd, and the next scheduled ship is not until May 9th, which will only reach Car Nicobar via Kamorta on the return journey.
Subsequently, the next scheduled ship after May 9th is on May 23rd, reaching Car Nicobar on May 25th.

In light of these challenges, the Member of Parliament requested that the ship services between Car Nicobar and Port Blair be enhanced during this vacation period.
