Ferry services suspended on Daulatdia-Paturia route due to rough weather
Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia river route were temporarily suspended on Saturday afternoon (May 2) due to rough weather triggered by a nor'wester (Kalbaishakhi) storm.
Authorities halted operations around 1:45pm after strong winds and turbulent river conditions raised safety concerns.
According to officials, the weather deteriorated suddenly after 1:30pm, with gusty winds and high waves making navigation risky. The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) suspended ferry movement to avoid potential accidents.
BIWTC Daulatdia Ghat Assistant Manager Nur Ahmed said ferry services would resume once weather conditions improve.
