Port Blair, Nov 30: The ANTCC Campaign Committee Chairman Shri. TSG Bhasker has raised the demand for providing additional sailing of ships to Campbell Bay.
In a letter addressed to the Director of Shipping Services, Mr. Bhasker stated that one ship is scheduled to sail for Campbell Bay on the 05th of December and the tickets for it have been completely sold out.
He said “Now there are more than 400 passengers who are stranded in Port Blair due to non-availability of tickets. Many of them are patients who are staying in lodges and are incurring huge amounts on lodging and food charges”.
Hence considering the plight of the residents of Campbell Bay, Mr. Bhasker requested the DSS to announce an additional sailing of ship to Campbell Bay on 07th or 08th of December so that the backlog of passengers going to Campbell Bay can be cleared and they can reach their homes before the Christmas holidays.
