Port Blair, April 14: The Member of Parliament, Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Lt. Governor to construct Dam/Weir on Nimbu Bagicha, North Bay nallah to solve the water crisis issue of the region.

In a letter addressed to the Lt. Governor, the Member of Parliament said that at Nimbu Bagicha, North Bay there is a nallah having a perennial flow and the water from the nallah flows into the sea throughout the year without any effective use. 

He added that by constructing a dam/weir at suitable location, the water flowing in nallah can be tapped and subsequently used for augmenting the supply of the fresh water at Bambooflat and its adjoining localities. 

The Member of Parliament requested the Lt. Governor to conduct a feasibility study in this regard and construct a dam/weir at the suitable location to tap and use the flowing fresh water to overcome the scarcity of fresh water at Bambooflat and its adjoining areas.
