Ferry services on the Aricha-Kazirhat and Paturia-Daulatdia river routes resumed on Sunday after two hour disruption caused by dense fog.

Abdus Salam, Deputy General Manager of BIWTC Aricha Sector, said the ferry services remained suspended from 7:00 am due to poor visibility.

Two ferries got stuck in the middle of the Padma River, causing immense suffering to the passengers.

Several hundred vehicles including goods-laden trucks are waiting to cross the river.

As the fog disappeared, the ferry services on the two routes were restored around 9:00am.
