Dhaka, Jan. 5 -- Ferry services on the Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat routes resumed on Sunday morning after a lengthy suspension caused by a dense fog that disrupted operations for 10-11 hours.

Nasir Chowdhury, Deputy General Manager of the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC), confirmed that operations resumed at 10:30 am on the Paturia-Daulatdia route and at 11:00 am on the Aricha-Kazirhat route, reports UNB.

Passenger buses, private cars, and microbuses will be prioritised for crossing, followed by goods-laden trucks, Chowdhury added.

The disruption began on Saturday night when thick fog blanketed the waterways, obscuring visibility and forcing authorities to suspend ferry services to prevent accidents.
