Ferry services on Paturia-Daulatdia route in the Padma River resumed after two hours of disruption caused by dense fog on Wednesday Morning.

Assistant General Manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) at Aricha Zillur Rahaman said, the ferry services were disrupted since 7:00am due to poor visibility caused by dense fog, reports a local news agency.

Some vehicles were stuck in the middle of the river while more than two hundreds of other vehicles were waiting at the both piers for crossing, he added.

Later, ferry services resumed around 9:00am as fog disappeared, said the AGM.
