Port Blair, April 26: The Non-Gazetted Govt. Officers’ Association, Andaman and Nicobar Islands have expressed concern over the ongoing ‘door to door’ survey by the UT Literacy Mission Authority, A & N Islands under the Padhna Likhna Abhiyaan utilizing the services of hundreds of teachers and auxiliary staff under Education Department.

The General Secretary of the Association, Shri T.S.Sreekumar in a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, A & N Administration has sought his immediate intervention to stop the ongoing survey when the Covid cases in these islands are on rise and movement of hundreds of staff during this critical period would be inappropriate and could accelerate the spread of this deadly pandemic.
