Noticing the increased number of stranded Lakshadweep passengers in the absence of sufficient ship services to the island, the port authorities here have requested their counterparts in Lakshadweep to make the required arrangements for addressing travellers’ concerns.
Beypore Port Officer K. Ashwini Prathap said the issue could be addressed only with the appropriate intervention of the Lakshadweep administration and people’s representatives. He said the stoppage of speed crafts between Lakshadweep and Kerala ports following adverse weather conditions was also a reason for the rush.
