Ferry services on the Aricha-Kazirhat and Paturia-Daulatdia river routes resumed on Saturday after a two-and-a-half-hour disruption caused by dense fog
Abdus Salam, Deputy General Manager of BIWTC Aricha Sector, said the ferry services remained suspended from 7:30 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 10am, respectively, reports UNB.
