Port Blair, Aug 02: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Lt. Governor of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, urging immediate action to address the worsening traffic conditions in Port Blair City by constructing flyovers.
In a letter addressed to the Lt. Governor, the Member of Parliament highlighted the daily struggle faced by residents due to multiple traffic jams on various city roads. He attributed the problem to the growing number of vehicles and the narrow roads, which were designed several decades ago. If left unattended, the situation is expected to worsen in the next 2 to 3 years due to the city’s rapid population growth, he added.
Recognizing the urgency of the matter, the Member of Parliament proposed three flyover projects that could significantly alleviate the traffic congestion in Port Blair City:
1) A flyover from DC Office to Atul Smriti Samity (Bengali Club) Junction, continuing to Phoenix Bay Powerhouse Junction.
2) Flyover connecting the DC Office to Atul Smriti Samity (Bengali Club) Junction to Goal Ghar Junction to Junglighat School Junction.
3) Flyover from DC Office to Fire Brigade to Netaji Stadium.
He emphasized that now is the right time to explore and implement these flyover projects.
The construction of these flyovers would not only improve the city’s infrastructure but also enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors. Additionally, it would contribute to the overall development and progress of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands while reducing the number of accidents on the city roads.
