After celebrating Eid with their relatives, people from 21 districts of the southern and western parts of the country are returning to work via the Paturia-Daulatdia waterway.

Painting a gloomy picture of the ferry service on the Paturia-Daulatdia route, Bangladesh Inland Water Transportation Corporation (BIWTC) officials yesterday said people bound for 21 southwestern districts might experience long delays at Paturia and Daulatdia terminals ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr.
