Ferry and vessel operations on the Daulatdia-Paturia route across the Padma River were suspended on Thursday evening after a sudden storm made navigation unsafe. Authorities halted all types of river transport, including ferries and launches, from 6:15 p.m. as strong winds and high waves created hazardous conditions. The decision was taken to prevent accidents amid the turbulent weather.
According to the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC), the suspension will remain in effect until further notice. The Daulatdia terminal’s commercial assistant manager, Jesanul Islam Tapu, confirmed that all ferry services have been stopped due to the storm. He added that operations will resume once weather conditions improve.
The suspension affects a key river crossing between Rajbari’s Daulatdia and Manikganj’s Paturia, an important route for vehicles and passengers. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will restore services when it is deemed safe.
