Diglipur, Aug 23: The Pramukh, Panchayat Samiti, Diglipur Mr. Dipankar Mistry raised a number of issues related to public utilities.
The Pramukh said the people of Diglipur are facing severe inconveniences owing to weak signal of BSNL in the entire Diglipur region.
According to information, the customers of the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) in Diglipur have been experiencing weak signals for the past many months, causing severe connectivity problems. Sometime, the signal drops so low that people are put into an exasperating situation especially in a medical emergency, the Pramukh said. On the other hand, since the school going children now heavily depend on online education, BSNL’s weak signal or no-signal at all at times poses as a terrible blow to them, the Pramukh alleged. Call drops, low MBPS and poor internet services are the other crippling issues of the BSNL, the Pramukh said. In this regard, the Pramukh also wrote a letter to the General Manager, apprising him of the matter and urging him to redress the problem. The Pramukh also apprised the Deputy Commissioner, N & M Andaman of the issue, he said.
The Pramukh also felt the necessity of a mortuary van for Diglipur so that people requiring it may avail the facility of it. In absence of a mortuary van, the people of Diglipur region have to face unspeakable problems to transport the dead body of their beloved ones from Port Blair to Diglipur, he said. The Pramukh further said that the previous Member of Parliament had promised a mortuary van for Diglipur but the ex-MP didn’t keep his promise, the Pramukh alleged. Hence he has this time urged the present Member of Parliament in a letter to provide a mortuary van for Diglipur, he further said.
