Dense fog caused the suspension of the Paturia-Daulatdia ferry route for six hours.
Nasir Chowdhury, DGM of the Aricha Sector, mentioned dense fog is a natural phenomenon, and ferry services may most seemingly perhaps not resume unless the fog cleared. Ferry operations resumed at 8:30am once the fog’s depth diminished.
Within the route of this time, over a hundred autos, including goods-encumbered trucks, non-public autos, microbuses, and other autos, got stranded at both terminals.
BIWTC (Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation) officials mentioned the fog began to thicken from stupid evening and fully covered the waterway by round 2:30am. To pause any maritime accidents, they halted ferry services. Ferries loaded with autos had been held motivate at both terminals at some level of this era.
