Rupsha river terminal
Near about 50 thousand people use the Rupsha terminal every day and most of them cross the river on smaller engine boats as only one ferry boat is now in operation in the river, after the opening of the Khan Jahan Ali Bridge to traffic on May 21. The boats quite often carry 30 to 35 passengers, and sometimes the number exceeds 40.
A few days ago some people died in a tragic boat accident in Rupsha ferry ghat. For the safety of people, I believe there should be at least three ferries on this route.
