Sir,
First of all, I would like to mention that since there is not much live media here in Andamans, corruption and the so called "Gundagardi" is increasing day by day. And the newspapers here don’t highlight all these things because either they are feared of political pressure from local parties or feared by the Gundas itself.
The private bus terminus is placed next to the Mohanpura School and Colony. Except the people of the colony and the school kids can understand how much trouble the buses placed there is causing. Most of the buses, when they leave for their destination, block the main road for 10-15mins in a cris-crossed manner. This prevents other vehicles to move forward. When those travelers request these bus drivers of these private buses, to give them side, the drivers start abusing, threatening and use foul languages. They threaten the travelers by saying "Jaante nahi hum kaun hai", Apna Rasta Naapo, "Kaat Dalenge" etc. This is simply Gundagardi! These bloody Gundas are supported by the political parties themselves. That is why they get the guts to talk badly with other travelers and passing by persons... I have seen some IRBn and local police placed there to control these things, but they just stand like a Silent statue. They dont perform their duties well... and the Local police is best in making challans for two-wheelers. They don’t touch these bus drivers out of fear , what a joke ....
You people never highlight these issues in papers nor do you research about this... The problem is, Local Media is feared of Political Party Gundas. But very soon, all the corruption done by political babus and the sahebs and the gundagardi will be highlighted and reported to the major channels in India... like the one shown on aajtalk/indiatv/ndtv/zeenews about the security loopholes in Andaman islands just after the Mumbai attack a year back

Dear Sir,
From April this year the coverage of Transmission is only around 15 to 20 Kms. Due to this North and Middle Andaman as well as whole of Nicobar group is unable to receive the Radio. This is because the Active and Passive Mast of the Transmitter has fallen. Now from 13th afternoon the Transmission on MW and SW has stopped completely due to the failure of Transmitter.

You will be aware of the role AIR played during Tsunami. An urgent enquiry and action is required to fix the responsibility and to take necessary action to re install both active and passive mast on war footing looking in to the strategic importance of AIR in these remote Islands.
AIR Port Blair broadcast daily half an hour Tamil, Telugu, Bangla, Malayalam and Nicobari Programme. Due to the retirement of a Nicobari Announcer and due to transfer of rest of the Language Programme Executives and Language Announcers, the language sections are handled independently by Casual Announcers. Necessary action is to be taken to post Programme Executives of all these languages and also to transfer back all those Announcers who were posted for this Station, but left this Station on request transfer to their respective Hometown. Until such time these casual Announcers who have put in more than fifteen years of service in AIR Port Blair should be given yearly contract so that quality of programme is not compromised.
People in these Islands have come from various parts of the country. They are generally anxious to know what is happening in these Islands. In order to satisfy them news bulletin of Major State capitals like Kolkatta, Chennai, Bihar, Kerala, Punjab etc. is to be broadcast from AIR Port Blair daily.

Apropos your news item : Group of Army men destroy vast stretch of corals at Elephant Beach, Havelock, if anything of that sort happened, the act is too good to be tolerated. Corals are one of the most sensitive members of the costal environment. It’s shocking to learn that a bunch of ill-mannered army personnel destroyed a stretch of coral reef which would otherwise require hundreds of years for a coral colony to establish itself.
I condemn the act and call upon the authorities both from the civil administration and the uniformed counterpart to order immediate inquiry into the incident and those found guilty should be handed over their share of punishment. This will set precedence so that no one ever dares to destroy the pristine natural heritage of these Islands, nor should anyone be allowed to play with the nature for his own pleasure.
We look upon the uniformed personnel as a role model to emulate. I cannot believe such an act has been performed by the uniformed personnel, Kindly clear the air.

Apropos News item : HN Arora Felicitates Utpal Sharma For His Exemplary Achievement In Upgradation of Govt. Polytechnic
Its indeed heartening to learn about the felicitation of Shri Utpal Sharma, Principal. He deserves accolades for his services to A&N Islands, I can say this on the basis of my experience working under him in the erstwhile Govt Polytechnic as LGC. Though for a short period of my career, but I found him to be a perfect team player. Allows free hand for expression of our mind but keeps vigil on us so that we do not deviate from our goal. He leads from the front, yet stands last in the queue when it comes to take credit upon him. He assumes responsibility, makes us feel important and most important motivates us at the right time in the right dose to bring the best in us. His is a perfect Govt Servant, a personality worth emulating, right in front of us; as an example.
I just got benefited exposed to his excellent work culture, for which I am ever indebted to him.

I wish to bring to the notice of people of Andaman that the Airlines and ticket agents are having hay times in just two hours flight by charging the highest fair. The Administration, Politicians and Heads of the Associations especially Andaman Chamber of Commerce & Industry is keeping aloof from seriousness.
In this money making business, the people of Andaman especially persons for medical treatment and emergency cases, Hotels & Restaurants, Tourist taxis and others related to tourism are the main looses. In case of Hotel Owners and Taxi Owners, who have taken Bank loan, find it very hard to pay back their dues.
I hope the competent authority will act and do something to relive the burden of the ‘Andaman Janta’.
Further water scarcity has comes as usual and we sleep on this matter whole year. When summer comes we wake up to the issue. I wonder how many decades will it take to solve this problem and who is responsible and why?
