I, as a living common man of this island have a opportunity to inform you regarding the Railways reservation counter of this islands.
Sir, the admin part of the ticket booking station is very dull which drugs a common man to great difficulties. As we all know that this booking station has a modified routine, different from a railways routine. Then also the staffs is not operating these counters for this mere time too. The counter operating hours have been mentioned 0800 hrs -1400 hrs, in between that they have 1200 hrs - 1300 hrs lunch period, and moreover they have mentioned 1000 -1030 hrs time for TATKAL booking, but the thing is that merely 2-3 persons comes for the TATKAL booking or sometimes these numbers remains to 0 also. However, the staff don't operate any counter during the period i.e 1000 -1030 hrs if no TATKAL passengers comes which leads general public to great difficulties. This condition gets worst when number of passenger for general booking increases.
These all are being done with mutual understanding of the railways booking station Supervisor.
I also keen to inform you that one counter have not being operated since long time without any reason and anybody ask about this, the Supervisor claim it as a staff been put on inquiry.,
Sir, I further informs you that the inquiry counter also not attended fully. These all staff are trying to make it as their picnic office only.
On questioning by general public, every time the Supervisor get annoyed. The behaviour of the Supervisor and staff is also very pathetic.

Of late the Agriculture Department has taken a step forward to provide marketing facilities to the local farmers to sell Vegetables and Fruits. A small temporary shed has been allotted for them at Goal Ghar. I would like to inform the concerned Directorate that the shed allotted at Goal Ghar is not a convenient place, as we have been noticing shortage of parking place. I would like to suggest that the Directorate shifts the existing outlet to some other place with parking facility.
After the closure of ANIIDCO Veg. Shop, demand for such outlets has increased. In Andaman, Vegetables and Fruit market is controlled by some big Middlemen who also control the prices. Even though the supply increases but the price never comes down. I would request the Director of Agriculture not to surrender under the pressure from these middlemen and not allow any of its staff as done by ANIIDCO.
A convenient place be provided to these farmers to sell their products and more such vegetable outlets be opened for local farmers in various parts of the city. The Directorate may also arrange for some financial help to the genuine farmers under various schemes through nodal agencies if possible.
I hope that other Departments will take a lesson from Agriculture Dept and will work for the betterment of the Islanders.

Does a fish know it is wet? Influential cultural and media critic Marshall Mc Luhan would often ask, the answer is ’NO” the fish’s existence is so dominated by water that only when water is absent is the fish aware to its condition (and then it’s too late).so it is with people and mass media. The media so fully saturate our everyday lives that we are often conscious of their presence, not to mention their influence, media inform us, entertain us, delight us, annoy us, the move our emotions, challenge out intellects, insults our intelligence, media often reduces us to mere commodities for sale to the highest bidder, media help define us, they shape our realities.

Dear Sir,
What happens is that electricity dept issues monthly bill to us on 1st or 2nd of every month, but when we go to private counters to pay the bill, they reply that they have not received the data from the dept yet, so they will start collection after 10th, and when we go to them after 10th, they say most of time that their server is not working so they cannot receive the bill. Sir in spite of visiting the office 5 or 6 times I could not pay bill in time. And last I had to pay fine.
It was their mistake and it’s a question of good governance and good administration. Who should be held responsible for this, the electricity dept who had not sent the data in time and the general public is hardly provided with only one week to pay the bill or the BSNL whose server is always down?
Name Withheld On Request
