Port Blair, July 12: Miss Mariyam Bibi, Ex Adhyaksha ZP SA met the Deputy Director (Shipping) on 10.07.2020 in his office and discussed about the problem being faced by the users of four wheeler vehicles to reach Port Blair for various purposes. After lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic, the four wheeler vehicles are not allowed to travel through vehicle ferry.
She suggested that during peak hours i.e in the morning and evening time, the four wheeler vehicles may also be allowed to possible extent and if required the frequency of the vehicle ferry may be increased but in other times the four wheeler vehicles may be permitted without any restrictions so that people can travel to reach their destination by saving their time.
She also requested to provide the boat service at 8.30pm from Chatham to Bambooflat so that people of Bambooflat and it’s adjoining areas do not face difficulties in their return journey from Port Blair to their home.
