Port Blair, Mar 27: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has requested the Chief Secretary of Andaman and Nicobar Administration to install comfortable seats in all ATR buses for the convenience of the general public.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Secretary, the Member of Parliament said that the State Transport Service (STS) has been using ordinary seats in most of these ATR buses, which makes long-distance travel very uncomfortable for the passengers, especially for patients, who use STS buses to reach Mayabunder District Hospital, CHC Rangat or G B Pant Hospital Port Blair for their treatment from different areas of North and Middle Andaman.
He pointed out that according to most of the ATR commuters, the seats in STS ATR buses are hard and uncomfortable.
The Member of Parliament mentioned that due to the poor condition of Andaman Trunk Road (NH4), which is still under construction in most of the patches, the journey in STS ATR buses becomes more painful for the public.
Hence he requested the Chief Secretary to intervene in this matter and issue necessary directions to the State Transport Service (STS) to install comfortable seats in all ATR buses for the convenience of the general public.
