Summary:
Though the timing of the service of the second vessel, which commenced about six months ago, was from 2 pm onwards, according to the new schedule announced on Saturday, the service of the second vessel will begin from 8.30 am to 10 pm from Monday. The first service on the route was launched over a year ago, but the KSINC has been delaying the full-fledged operation of the service citing shortage of staff. “Ever since the service started nearly four decades ago, the vessels were operating from 6 am to 10 pm. It is sad to note that the KSINC is not operating services from 6 am to 10 pm in its second service,” said Komath. However, the KSINC is yet to sign an agreement with the corporation for operating the service..
