Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma, Member of Parliament, Andaman and Nicobar Islands has demanded the construction of two separate 100 bedded guest houses for the accommodation of residents from N & M Andaman District and Nicobar District.
In his letter to the Hon’ble Lt. Governor, the MP informed that such guest houses would be immensely beneficial for the general public of the remote Islands as they would be able to stay safe there at minimum cost.
MP also mentioned in his letter that thousands of patients from the remote Islands visit Port Blair for treatment at G.B Pant and such a guest house will be a blessing for them.
MP also informed the LG that due to a lack of affordable accommodation the Islanders from Nicobar District and North & Middle Andaman are currently paying heavily for their lodging at Port Blair.
Mr. Kuldeep added that many Islanders including farmers, students as well as small business owners who visit Port Blair for various works and medical treatment are currently not able to afford the huge price of private accommodation and they face problems at Port Blair.
