Sri Vijaya Puram, Oct. 22: The Andaman Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee President Shri Rangalal Halder has submitted a formal request to the Chief Secretary, Andaman and Nicobar Administration, urging immediate action for the commencement of construction work on the proposed RCC Bridge at Magar Nallah, Sitapur, Rangat.
He said that, For the past 8 years, this critical infrastructure has remained in a dilapidated state, causing severe inconveniences to the local population.
Shri Rangalal Halder noted that, despite the submission of a detailed estimate and project scope, no tender has been invited for this important project. "This bridge is a lifeline for the residents of Sitapur and Sabari Panchayats. It will reduce travel time, improve access to essential services, and enhance transportation safety, especially during the monsoon seasons when the Nallah overflows and poses risks to commuters," he said.
Shri Halder emphasized the need for an urgent invitation of tenders to avoid further delays that could extend the hardships faced by the local peoples.
He further requested the Administration to expedite the process of tendering to ensure that construction work begins at the earliest.
