Port Blair, March 11: The Member of Parliament, Shri. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Lt. Governor of A&N Islands to schedule a ship for Chennai via Campbell Bay and to announce the sailing well in advance, so that people desirous to visit Chennai from Campbell Bay can avail this sailing and plan their journey.

In his letter the Member of Parliament mentioned that there are many people in the Islands who have been planning to visit Chennai via ship but no ship for Chennai has been scheduled via Campbell Bay since a long time.

He said that for people living in Campbell Bay, it is not only troublesome and time consuming but also a very expensive affair to reach Port Blair and wait for a ship to Chennai. For this reason since last several decades it was a common practice to schedule ships for Chennai via Campbell Bay as per demand of ship.

He mentioned that after COVID-19 pandemic normalcy has been restored in Andaman & Nicobar Islands and people are now slowly returning back to their normal life. The MP therefore requested that considering the situation and demand of the people, a ship be scheduled for Chennai via Campbell Bay at the earliest.
