Dhaka, Feb. 2 -- Ferry services have resumed along the Daulatdia-Paturia route after an overnight suspension caused by heavy fog.

The services returned to normal around 9:00 am on Sunday as visibility improved, according to Md Salahuddin, manager of the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) at Daulatdia.

Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route were suspended at 10:30 pm on Saturday as the authorities sought to prevent accidents amid thick fog. The shutdown left several vehicles stranded at the jetties.

Trucks carrying goods made up the bulk of the backlog, while passengers and drivers endured the night in biting cold, waiting for the fog to thin out and ferry services to resume, reports bdnews24.com.
