The ferry movement between Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat river routes in the district remained suspended from the early hours on Tuesday due to poor visibility caused by dense fog.

On Saturday night, Nasir Mohammad Chowdhury, Deputy General Manager (Commerce) of the BIWTC Aricha office, said that due to the dense fog, the marking lights on the Paturia-Daulatdia waterway have become dim, so two ferries named BS Jahangir and Baigar are anchored in the middle of the river. In addition, a ferry named Khan Jahan Ali on the Aricha-Kazirhat route has also been anchored in the middle of the river.

Dense fog is a natural phenomenon. He added that it will not be possible to operate ferries until the fog clears.

BIWTC authorities said that the intensity of fog on the river has been increasing since Saturday evening. Due to the dense fog, the marking points of the waterway channel were unclear, so ferry services on the Aricha-Kazirhat waterway were temporarily suspended from 12:45 am on Saturday, and the Paturia-Daulatdia waterway from around 1 am to avoid accidents.
