Ferry Hits Electricity Pole in the Middle of Padma River

This time a ferry collided with an electricity pole during the Eid journey, not the Padma Bridge. With this, a large part of the front of an ambulance on the ferry was broken.

The ferry passengers said the ferry left Faridpur from Shimulia Ghat in Munshiganj for Majhikandi Ghat around 2:30 pm on Sunday. The ferry collided with the pole of the Payra Thermal Power Plant in the middle of the river Padma Bridge. A large part of the front of a hearse ambulance near the lid of the ferry was broken. Then panic spread among the other passengers.

Salauddin Ahmed, manager of BIWTC’s Banglabazar Majhikandi Ghat, said the ferry hit electricity poles due to the storm. The ferry is safe.

Asked if there was any damage to the ferry, he said, “Our Marine officials can tell.”

He called Ahmed Ali, a marine officer at Mawa river port, but did not receive a call.
