Wimberlygunj, October 18: In an appeal to the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration, Mr. K. Venkat Ram Babu, State President of Jana Sena Party , has requested a special ship sailing from Campbell Bay to Sri Vijaya Puram on the 27th or 28th of October (Sunday/Monday) to accommodate Diwali travellers.
Mr. Babu highlighted that Diwali, the festival of lights, will be celebrated on the 31st of October and 1st of November this year, which falls on Thursday and Friday. As per the current weekly schedule, ships sail from Campbell Bay to Sri Vijaya Puram every Thursday, with a travel duration of 27 to 30 hours. This schedule would result in many travellers missing out on celebrating the festival with their loved ones.
To ensure that people can return home in time for Diwali, Mr. Babu has written a formal letter on the 17th of October, urging the administration to consider the request and arrange for a special sailing, allowing families to reunite for the festival.
