It is believed that such night service will be very useful and helpful for Islanders. The most important fact is the new night service won’t disturb the present convoy timing. Such night service will not only save a lot of efforts and money of Islanders but also help passengers to finish their work in day time and travel in evening or night hours. The passenger can return from Port Blair or Diglipur without halting for night, which will save a precious time and money.
