Port Blair, Sept. 1: The Member of Parliament, Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has demanded for urgent posting of a full-time Tehsildar for Diglipur Tehsil.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, the Member of Parliament mentioned that he has been informed by the residents and PRI members of Diglipur region that the Diglipur Tehsil has been working without a Tehsildar for nearly past three months.

He said that the Tehsildar from Mayabunder Tehsil is often sent to Diglipur as temporary arrangement but this arrangement has proven to be insufficient in addressing the demands and needs of our people, particularly with respect to resolving various revenue-related matters.

The Member of Parliament pointed out that the absence of a full-time Tehsildar in Diglipur Tehsil has caused significant hardship for the residents, who are now grappling with unaddressed revenue-related issues.

He pointed out that the role of a Tehsildar is pivotal as it directly deals with the general public and in absence of a full time Tehsildar people of Diglipur region are facing many hardships. During any disaster like situation or other crucial event like pandemic etc. Tehsildar plays a major role in dealing with the public and Administration, added the MP.
