Sir,

I request you to apprise via your esteemed Newspaper to the Andaman Administration as well as Electricity Department of Andaman & Nicobar Islands regarding the regular Power Outage issue faced by me and fellow Islanders.

It has become a regular issue and we are facing regular Power/Electricity Outage since last 2 months. The outage is of not few minutes but for long hours every day, which makes it difficult to carry out daily activities and causes unrest. When the country is claiming to have electricity in the remotest of villages, it seems we Islanders are being taken for granted. Please find below details of outage for the last two days but this issue is going on since last two months.

8th June, 2021 - 8 AM to 12 PM, 2 PM to 4 PM & again 11 PM to 1.30 AM

9th June, 2021 - 6 AM to 10 AM & again in the evening.

The publication of difficulties faced by Islanders in your Newspaper will help us to take the matter to the highest decision making authority and could bring some relief to us if action is taken about this by the relevant authorities.

An Islander
