Port Blair, Dec. 19: The State President, Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri Ajoy Bairagi has written to Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon'ble Union Minister of Civil Aviation wherein he highlighted the issues and hardship faced by the general public and tourists visiting Andaman & Nicobar Islands.

In his letter he has highlighted the points of exorbitant and unaffordable fare, which is also hampering the tourism in Islands. He also mentioned that reason for such high fare is due to restrictions in flight frequencies which was 27 flights per day before and now reduced to 12 flights per day post Covid.

With almost 100 % completely vaccinated status of Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Bairagi requested immediate intervention of Hon'ble Union Minister of Civil Aviation in this issue.
