Ferry services have been suspended on Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat water routes due to dense fog.

The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) Aricha Ghat Assistant General Manager (commerce) Md Salam Hossain on Friday (January 24) said two ferries carrying passengers and vehicles were stranded on the Padma River after the ferry's marking lights became blurred due to dense fog.

In addition, ferry services have been suspended on the Aricha-Kazirhat route to avoid accidents.
