In Munshiganj, the ferry services on Shimulia-Banglabazar route remained suspended since 4am due to poor visibility caused by dense fog.
The authorities of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) suspended ferry services to avoid accidents, said Prafulla Chouhan, manager of BIWTC.
Two ferries that left for Shimulia from Banglabazar point on Sunday morning anchored in the middle of the river due to poor visibility, said Prafulla.
Besides, 12 ferries were stuck at the ghat point.
In Manikganj, More than 400 vehicles are stuck on both ends waiting to traverse the river.
BIWTC Aricha Sector Manager Mohiuddin Rasel said the fog intensified after midnight.
“Visibility fell drastically around 7:30am. So, we decided to keep ferry services off to avoid accidents,” he said.
Rasel said they would resume ferry operations once the visibility improves.
