Passenger and vehicle traffic has surged on the Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat ferry routes as people travel home ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr. Launch terminals have also seen large crowds, but authorities report that crossings are taking place without the usual suffering seen in previous years.
The routes, serving as key gateways for 21 southwestern districts, are operating normally and smoothly. The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC), district administration, and police are jointly ensuring uninterrupted service. According to BIWTC Deputy General Manager Abdus Salam, 17 ferries are operating on the Paturia-Daulatdia route and 5 on the Aricha-Kazirhat route, while 33 launches are facilitating passenger movement.
Officials said continuous monitoring has been strengthened to ensure safe and comfortable travel. Despite the increased rush, passengers are reportedly crossing the river with ease and satisfaction.
