  1. Unfortunate, IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA.
    We plan to reach Port Blair on 11/10/2021 and stay till 18/10/2021. We are to visit the sacred Cellular Jail on 11/10/2021, do we miss it?
    Are verified tourists of Indian origin such a threat? If so it could have been notified earlier

    1. Unfortunately, NSCB Island (Ross Island) will remain closed on 12th October 2021. Mr. Amit Shah is scheduled to visit the Islands and so the Administration has taken the decision.
