It was revealed that the passenger ferry service between Nagapattinam in Tamil Nadu and Kankesanthurai in Sri Lanka was increased by one more day in a week.
The service, which was reduced to three days a week due to lower-than-expected bookings, will now be operated on Saturdays, from 21 September onwards.
The ferry service, which resumed on 16 August with the new vessel ‘Sivagangai’, initially operated daily.
However, passenger demand prompted the company to reduce the frequency to thrice weekly, running on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, with this schedule maintained until 15 September.
The addition of the extra weekly sailing is part of IndSri’s efforts to better serve the growing demand for cross-border travel between India and Sri Lanka.
