Ferry operations on the Paturia-Daulatdia river route in Manikganj resumed after being suspended for about an hour on Wednesday morning. Services were halted around 7:10 a.m. when heavy rain, strong winds, and a storm made navigation unsafe. Authorities temporarily stopped all ferry movements to ensure the safety of passengers and vehicles traveling home for Eid. The suspension caused temporary suffering for travelers and transport operators.
According to the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC), ferry services restarted around 8:00 a.m. after weather conditions improved. BIWTC’s Aricha office confirmed that operations have returned to normal. Currently, 15 ferries of various sizes are operating on the route, and vehicles that were stranded at the terminals are gradually crossing the river.
The restoration of ferry movement has eased congestion at the terminals, allowing passengers and vehicles to continue their journeys safely and smoothly.
