The authorities have temporarily suspended ferry services on the Paturia-Daulatdia river route due to dense fog.
Salam Hossain, AGM of the Commerce Department of the BIWTC Aricha office, confirmed to Barta24.com that ferry services were suspended from 6:30 am on Sunday (December 22).
He said that fog started falling in the river area from midnight on Friday. The marking lights of the ferry became dim in the dense fog in the morning. Therefore, ferries are not being launched from the Paturia Ghat area to Daulatdia Ghat to avoid accidents on the river route.
He said that ferry services will be resumed when the fog in the river area decreases.
