Mr. Sanjay Kumar Singh, State Vice President, Bharatiya Janata Party, Andaman and Nicobar Islands has written a letter to the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration, Secretary (Shipping), Andaman and Nicobar Administration, Deputy Commissioner (South Andaman) and Deputy Commissioner (Nicobar District) requesting them to arrange ships for transportation of large number of stranded people from Southern Group of Islands (Car Nicobar, Kamorta, Katchal and Campbell Bay).
In his letter Mr. Sanjay Kumar Singh has thanked the dignitaries for arranging sailing of M.V Kalighat for transportation of stranded Islanders of Little Andaman Island, who were stuck at Port Blair since past few weeks due to non-availability of any means for transportation.
He further mentioned that the Islanders from the Southern Group of Islands are facing the same issues and most of them have already exhausted their money and many of them do not have a place to stay in South Andaman.
He further added that many of those stranded from the Southern Group of Islands are daily wage earners without any income and food. He also mentioned that the stranded students are also losing out on their studies.
He requested the dignitaries to arrange for sailings of ship to the Southern Group of Islands and also to identify the stranded Islanders and provide them with food and temporary shelter.
