He said that an Electrical Engineer (JE) of Electricity Department then attached to Panchayat Samity, Hut Bay was looking after the works relating to electrical wings of both the Gram Panchayat i.e. Netaji Nagar and Hut Bay in Little Andaman. However, on abolition of Panchayat Samity, the posting of electrical JE was withdrawn and as a result, no JE is available with them to look after the electrical wings for maintaining streetlights and other electrical works of both the Gram Panchayats.
