All types of ferry and vessel movement on the Paturia-Daulatdia, Paturia-Kazirhat, and Aricha-Kazirhat river routes have been suspended. The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) confirmed that operations were halted from 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday due to storms, rain, and adverse weather conditions. Several ferries that had already departed were anchored mid-river or at nearby terminals, while launches and speedboats remained docked at the ghats.
Passengers arriving from across the river took shelter in local shops and waiting sheds near the terminals as heavy rain continued. Many travelers were stranded and drenched, with children and elderly passengers facing the most hardship.
Authorities have not yet announced when ferry services will resume, as weather conditions remain unfavorable.
