Update : 26 Dec 2023, 11:20 AM

Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route resumed this morning after six hours. 

Ferry services were suspended due to low visibility caused by dense fog.

Authorities suspended the services to avoid accidents when the fog density increased around midnight. The fog started to dissipate at around 8am on Tuesday.

Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route were suspended at around 2:10am after four ferries got stuck in the middle of the river due to poor visibility caused by dense fog, said the Aricha office of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC).

Due to the suspension, hundreds of vehicles were stranded at both ends, causing distress to passengers and drivers in the chilly weather.
