To
The Director of Transport,
Andaman and Nicobar Islands,
Port Blair.
Sir,
I am to invite your kind attention to my letter dated 7th March, 2011 addressd to you (copy enclosed for kind perusal) regarding our demand for withdrawal of heavy vehicle drivers of STS department from Secretariat, Raj Nivas, etc.
Recently, a news item was broadcast through AIR, Port Blair that STS bus services have been badly affected due to non-availability of drivers. We have been requesting the Administration and Transport Department for the last several months that engaging heavy vehicle drivers for light vehicle duty, that too from the pool of STS, is not a desirable step and had sought the intervention of the authorities to rectify the mistake. As pointed out by us in our earlier letters, there is shortage of Heavy Vehicle Drivers in the STS which reportedly hampered STS bus services. To make up the shortfall, Transport Department resort to appointment of drivers on contract/daily rated basis. We had expressed our apprehension to you and other authorities in the Administration that contract/ DRM drivers, who are not liable for any accident, loss/damage to government property, often causes accidents due to lack of experience to drive heavy vehicles.
I would, therefore, once again request you that the Heavy Vehicle Drivers of STS services may kindly be withdrawn from Raj Nivas, Secretariat, etc. so that their services can be better utilized for driving the STS buses effectively. This will be in the public interest as well as in the interests of Staff Car Drivers idling in various departments under the Administration.
Action taken in the matter may please be intimated to this Association.
Yours faithfully,
