During a recent meeting with the Chief Secretary the Member of Parliament said that the water crisis in our islands is not a new phenomenon. Islanders have experienced severe water scarcity in various locations in the past, and it continues to pose a significant challenge for our residents. In both 2007 and this current year of 2023, we have faced an alarming shortage of water due to the failure of the monsoon, exacerbating the crisis we are already grappling with. The North and Middle Andaman monsoon, which plays a crucial role in replenishing our water resources, has been erratic in its patterns, and this trend shows no signs of improvement.
