Port Blair, Feb 25: The Member of Parliament, Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma called on the Chief Secretary on 22.02.2022 and raised the problems of frequent power cuts in Port Blair, South Andaman and other Islands, which are witnessed almost every day.

Highlighting the issue, the Member of Parliament pointed out that every day 10 to 12 such power cuts for shorter duration is witnessed by Islanders of Port Blair, South Andaman and other Islands, which is not only causing inconvenience to public but also damaging large number of electrical appliances and hence causing huge loss to public.

He pointed out that not everyone in the city can afford an inverter or power backup system at home and hence most of the Islanders are suffering because of such power outages.

After hearing the MP, the Chief Secretary assured that the matter will be viewed seriously.
