Baratang, November 24: Unavailability of STS buses, exclusively only for Baratang and Kadamtala region is making holes in the pockets of remote Islanders.
In a letter addressed to the Director of Transport, A & N Administration, Mr R Alagerswamy, former Up-Adhyaksh of N&M Andaman Zilla Parishad stated that from Port Blair the Transport Department is providing bus services to Rangat, Mayabunder & Diglipur but not to Kadamtala & Baratang.
“Residents are urged to pay the amount of ticket till Rangat, Mayabunder or Diglipur which falls under North Andaman to travel till Baratang or Kadamtala falling under Middle Andaman,” he added.
Mr Alagerswamy requested to fix a schedule for the buses to Baratang and Kadamtala atleast 03 days a week so that the residents won’t have pay extra in this time of pandemic.
