Dense fog has forced authorities to temporarily suspend ferry services on the Paturia-Daulatdia route. A ferry carrying vehicles and passengers is now stranded in the middle of the Padma River, while over a hundred vehicles remain queued at both terminals, waiting to cross.

According to sources at the terminal, visibility dropped early Tuesday morning (December 31) as the fog thickened, rendering the ferry marking lights unclear. Consequently, a ferry carrying vehicles and passengers became stranded mid-river. To prevent accidents, ferry operations were temporarily halted at 6:30 am.

BIWTC official Salam Hossain said, "Ferry operations on the Paturia-Daulatdia route have been suspended due to dense fog. Operations will resume once the fog clears."
