Staff Correspondent, Barishal: Special launch services on Dhaka-Barisal river route will be started from September 8 to deal with the rush of home-bound passengers on the eve of Eid-ul-Azha.

Saidur Rahman Rintu, central vice-president of launch owners association and owner of Sundarban launch fleet, confirmed the matter on Thursday.

He said the service may start from September 7 if the rush of home-bound passengers increases.

Saidur Rahman Rintu said at least 17 launches will directly ply on Dhaka-Barisal river route on the eve of Eid-ul-Azha like Eid-ul-Fitr. A total of 23 launches will be operated a day in the special service.

Several private launch companies have already started selling tickets on the occasion of special service, the vice-president added.
