11 years after the resettlement of villagers in permanent shelters at Laxmi Nagar post Tsunami, the village finally got BSNL Mobile connectivity recently. BSNL Installed a Mini BTS in the village to provide mobile connectivity services to the villagers.
The villagers voluntarily worked hard for more than 15 days and helped BSNL lay the Optical Fibre Cable so that BSNL can deploy the mini BTS in their village.
The PRI Members especially Mr. E S Rajesh, Pramukh, Panchayat Samiti, Campbell Bay, Mr. Prahlad Singh, Pradhan, GP Laxmi Nagar, Mr. Bhanudas, Ward Member, Laxmi Nagar Village and Miss. Leela Bathi, Zilla Parishad Member, Laxmi Nagar Panchayat took up the issue with the authorities of BSNL and finally got the mobile network installed.
Mr. E S Rajesh even transported the Optical Fibre Cable from Port Blair to Campbell Bay at his own cost for BSNL to deploy its mobile network.
The villagers of Laxmi Nagar are now relieved after the Mobile Network started functioning as now they are able to stay in touch with their loved ones. The villagers used to face a lot of difficulties earlier even to avail emergency services such as ambulances because of the non-availability of mobile network.
The operationalisation of the Mobile Network at Laxmi Nagar has solved a long pending demand of the villagers.
