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.

The river routes of Shimulia in Munshiganj, Banglabazar in Madaripur and Majhikandi in Shariatpur have been seeing huge crowds of homebound people since this morning.

State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury today urged Eid 2022 home goers to avoid Shimulia ferry ghat and use Patuaria ferry terminal instead.

An inadequate number of ferries and gridlocks on highways are likely to be causes of sufferings for Eid holidaymakers heading to the 21 southern districts via the Paturia-Daulatdia and Shimulia-Kathalbari routes.

Hundreds of passengers had to go through immense sufferings in the long queue of vehicles at Shimulia ferry Ghat since Friday morning.
