Ferry services resume on Daulatdia-Paturia route after one-hour suspension
Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route resumed at 9:45 pm on Wednesday, March 18, after being suspended for one hour due to adverse weather. The temporary suspension caused suffering for homebound passengers and vehicles during Eid.
Ghat authorities said ferry services on the waterway were suspended from 8:45 pm as the Padma River became rough due to stormy winds. Seven ferries were stranded at the Daulatdia end during this time.
BIWTC Daulatdia Ghat office Assistant General Manager Md Salahuddin said ferry services normalised from 9:45 pm as stormy winds on the river subsided. Currently, 17 ferries are operating on this route, transporting passengers and vehicles.
