Ferry services on the Paturia-Daulatdia route were disrupted due to strong currents and increasing water-level in the Padma.

Several thousand passengers on Paturia-Daulatdia and Shimulia-Kathalbari ferry routes were stuck for several hours on both sides of the Padma due to dense fog yesterday.

Four days into the suspension of ferry services, the BIWTA has suspended launch services on Paturia-Daulatdia route since last night due to rough weather.

Ferry services on the Paturia-Daulatdia route have become uncertain as the damaged landing stations of Daulatdia ferry terminal in Rajbari cannot be repaired properly due to strong current in the Padma river.

Ferry services between Daulatdia and Paturia terminals remain suspended for three and a half hours due to thick fog.
