Ferry service resumes after 9 hours at Paturia, Aricha routes

Ferry services have resumed on the country’s important Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat routes after being suspended for nearly nine hours due to dense fog.

The services resumed around 10:40 am on Friday (January 24) when the fog on the river cleared.

The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) Aricha Ghat Assistant General Manager (commerce) Md Salam Hossain confirmed the matter.

Earlier ferries carrying passengers and vehicles were stranded on the Padma River after the ferry's marking lights became blurred due to dense fog.
