To
The Hon’ble Lt. Governor
Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Port Blair.
Sir,
As your goodself may kindly be aware, the summer vacation for the schools in Andaman & Nicobar Islands starts from 1st May 2009. Hundreds of teachers and other government employees along with their family members will be proceeding to mainland to visit their home towns and also for other purposes during summer vacation. The government employees find it difficult to get any ticket either in the ship or in flight for proceeding to mainland. Two passenger ships of the shipping department / SCI viz. M.V.Nancowry and M.V. Harshavadhana have been sent to Dry Dock on the mainland for APS and as such these ships are not available for service between Port Blair and mainland during summer vacation.
Hundreds of government employees and workers are stranded at Port Blair due to the non- availability of Ship or flight tickets.
Administration’s decision to send the two passenger ships for APS during this rush season has caused great hardship for the government employees and workers. Even seriously ill patients are not getting tickets to proceed to mainland for medical treatment.
Under the circumstances, I would request your goodself to take up the matter with the Govt. of India to introduce chartered flights between Port Blair and Kolkatta / Chennai till the arrival of the above said passenger ships from APS in order to clear the summer vacation rush in the islands.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully,
