A fire broke out on the ferry ‘Keramat Ali’ anchored at Paturia Ghat No. 4 in Manikganj on Friday evening. The blaze reportedly started from the ferry’s silencer pipe while it was docked. Witnesses said sparks were seen coming from the pipe, causing panic among passengers and crew as smoke spread quickly. The ferry staff managed to bring the fire under control before it could spread further.
After receiving the report, the ghat authorities informed the fire service, whose members later extinguished the fire completely. No major damage or casualties were reported, but ferry operations were temporarily suspended for safety reasons.
Initial assessments suggest that excessive engine heat or a mechanical fault may have caused the fire. Authorities have launched an investigation and will inspect the ferry’s mechanical condition before resuming its operation.
