Paturia-Daulatdia ferry services halted

The ferry services through the Paturia-Daulatdia route has been suspended since 2:30 am on Friday due to poor visibility caused by dense fog.

As a result, several hundred vehicles have been stranded on two sides of the Padma River.

Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation's Paturia Ghat Manager Mohiuddin Russell said due to the dense fog, some ferries have been stuck on the middle of the river.

If the fog disappears, the ferry service will resume, he added.
