Paturia-Daulatdia ferry services resume after 12 hours


Ferry services on Paturia-Daulatdia route resumed on early Sunday after 12 hours. The services were suspended as dense fog blanketed the river route.

Ferry movement on the route resumed at 10am as the fog slowly started to clear, said Tanvir Hossain, assistant general manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) Aricha sector, said.

Mohiuddin Russell, manager of BIWTC Aricha sector, said ferry services were suspended due to poor visibility and several hundred vehicles got stuck on both sides of the river.
