The authorities will allow launch operators to continue their resumed services until Monday morning in efforts to facilitate the return of export-oriented ready-made garment (RMG) workers to their workplaces in Dhaka, a BIWTA official has said.
The resumed services will continue until 6:00am on Monday, Rafiqul Islam, director of traffic and shipping management at BIWTA (Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority), told The Financial Express on Sunday noon.
The BIWTA had on Saturday issued an official order allowing the launch operators to resume and continue their services until Sunday at 12 noon from Saturday evening, as RMG workers started rushing to Dhaka in droves upon the government decision to allow factories to reopen on Sunday.
