Kavaratti : Administrator Praful Patel comes down more heavily on Lakshadweep natives amid rising protests over anti-people measures clamped on the islanders. The administration on Wednesday issued new orders curbing air-transportation of the sick.
As per the order, air ambulance facility for the island’s people will be decided by a four-member committee that has been appointed to evaluate if a patient should be allowed to fly or not. Those failing to secure committee’s nod for air ambulance will have to ferry the patient on ship.
Protest is growing against the administrator who poses increasing challenges to lives and culture of the people of Lakshadweep.
