It is the failure on the part of A&N Administration and the dirty politics
allowing infiltration from legal routes as well- ship/air. The voice of
old inhabitants ( Pre-42) are never heared. Adminsitration failed to act
on the 'Restriction to Entry and Residence Regulation of 1876'. Thanks to
Ministry/Centre for not sleeping on issues which concered security of the
far flung Islands and country. Hope, the creation of these posts will be
beneficial for the security of Islands / Country.
