Port Blair, Aug. 19: The PCC President, Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma recently held meetings with the Principal Secretary (Power) and the Secretary, Port Blair Municipal Council, wherein he appraised them of the need to decorate Port Blair city by installing Ornamental Street Lights.

Since the International Air Port and main wharfs at Chatham and Haddo are situated in Port Blair, all tourists have to go to their place of choice via the capital city Port Blair which enhances the importance of Port Blair, the PCC Prez said.

Hence Shri Sharma suggested to decorate the Capital city Port Blair with ornamental street lights on both sides of the roads from Air Port to Cellular Jail, and Atul Smrity Samity to all the spots of tourist interest inside Port Blair.

Sharma said that this arrangement will not only be liked by the incoming tourists but also by the islanders. He further suggested that for illuminating these roads with ornamental sparkling lights, solar power may be used so to reduce the burden on the existing power supply. Similar projects should also be implemented in other islands, he said.
