Ferry services on Paturia-Daulatdia route resumes

Ferry services on the Paturia-Daulatdia route in the Padma
River resumed after one and a half hours of disruption caused by dense fog this
morning (11 April).
Abdus Salam, Deputy General Manager
of BIWTC Aricha Sector, said ferry services on the busy route were suspended
from around 6am as thick fog engulfed the Padma River.
A number of ferries and cargo
vessels were forced to anchor mid-river, while a large number of vehicles,
including passenger buses and goods-laden vehicles, became stuck on both sides
of the river.
A long queue of vehicles was seen at Daulatdia and Paturia terminals, causing
immense suffering to passengers.
Later, the ferry services resumed
around 7:15am as the fog disappeared.
