Fog disrupts ferry service
Ferry services on Maowa-Kewrakandi river route remained suspended for about two hours early yesterday due to dense fog. Sirajul Haque, manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) at Maowa ghat, said river communication on the route came to a halt from 1:30am to 3:30am. Four ferries with about 1,200 passengers on board have also been forced to anchor at the mid point of the Padma River, he said. The suspension of the ferry services caused huge traffic jam on both sides of the river ghat.
