Ferry services between Teknaf and St. Martin’s Island in Cox’s Bazar have been suspended for the past three days due to a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal. As a result, the island is experiencing shortages of daily necessities. The depression has caused tidal waters to rise 1 to 3 feet above normal levels, leading to flooding in coastal homes and damage to vegetation. Teknaf Upazila Executive Officer Sheikh Ehssan Uddin stated that vessel movement on the Teknaf-St. Martin route has been halted since Thursday due to adverse weather. Services will resume once conditions improve.
