Daulatdia-Paturia ferry services resume after six hours

Rajbari, Dec 26 (UNB): Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route resumed on the morning of Monday after six-hours. Ferry services were suspended due to low visibility caused by dense fog, reports UNB.
Authorities suspended the services to avoid accidents when the fog density increased around midnight. Fog started to dissipate around 8:00 in the morning.
Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route were suspended around 2:10 am after four ferries got stuck in the middle of the river due to poor visibility caused by dense fog, said 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.
