The suspension of services is causing immense suffering to the passengers.
Many passengers are crossing the Padma on speed boats and launches risking their lives while many are taking detour.
Besides, goods-laden trucks are waiting in long queues at the ferry terminal.
Meanwhile, dredging is going on in Louhojong Turning Channel for navigability.
However, the authorities concerned could not confirm when ferry service would resume.

BIWTA Additional Chief Engineer Md Saidul Rahman said the work is underway to bring back navigability of the channel. Four ferries have been shifted to other routes and rest 13 are sitting idle.
