Shri. Ajoy Bairagi, State President, Bharatiya Janata Party, Andaman and Nicobar Islands met Shri. Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Govt. of India in New Delhi, yesterday. Shri. Ajoy Bairagi visited New Delhi earlier last week to attend the National Council Meeting of Bharatiya Janata Party, he has been meeting Ministers and raising the issues of Andaman and Nicobar Islands for the development of the Islands and for relief to the Islanders.
The meeting between the State President of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Hon’ble Minister was very fruitful and very soon the result of the meeting will be visible on ground in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Shri. Ajoy Bairagi during the meeting explained the Hon’ble Minister about the deplorable condition of the National Highway 4 (Andaman Trunk Road) Package III and Package IV leading from Baratang to Diglipur in North and Middle Andaman District.
Shri. Ajoy Bairagi also submitted a letter to the Hon’ble Minister which explained the deplorable condition of the National Highway 4. Shri. Ajoy Bairagi in his letter explained to the Hon’ble Minister that the condition of the NH-4 (Andaman Trunk Road) is very bad from Baratang to Diglipur in North and Middle Andaman District (Package III & Package IV) due to abnormal delay in taking up the work of rehabilitation and up-gradation.
He further explained to the Hon’ble Minister that there are major potholes and huge craters on the said stretch of road. He added that the heavy vehicles carrying passenger and goods as well as passenger cars have become prone to accidents on the said stretch of road as even a minor slip-up can overturn the vehicle endangering the lives of those onboard. He also added that travelling on the road has become a nightmare and is very risky.
Shri. Ajoy Bairagi in his letter further wrote that M/s Mantena Vasishta Constructions Pvt. Ltd Strait (JV) had executed the agreement in March 2019 for improvement of two lane with hard shoulder but the contractor has not completed the work even after a lapse of 3 years. He also added that it seems that the contractor has turned a blind eye towards the hardships being faced by the commuters. He also mentioned that NHIDCL is also responsible for the present condition of the Andaman Trunk Road especially in North and Middle Andaman because of lack of proper planning and execution. He requested the Hon’ble Minister to issue necessary directions.
Shri. Nitin Gadkari during the meeting with Shri. Ajoy Bairagi instructed the authorities to take necessary action for repair and upgradation of the Andaman Trunk Road at the earliest and very soon the work on ground will be visible in form of better roads in North and Middle Andaman District.
