Dear Friends,
Following is a press release on the A&N Admin website about the declaration
of three roads in the islands as State Highways. I was wondering what the
purpose at this point of time. I don't know about 1 and 3, but at the moment
little remains of SH 2 (see below) which is the North South Road running
along the Great Nicobar Island East coast.
