At least 11 ferries, which were stranded mid-river of Padma, have been rescued after about three hours.
Ferry services on Paturia-Daulatdia route were disrupted due to dense fog on Friday morning, sources said.
Nasir Mohammad Chowdhury, manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) at Aricha, "The ferry services were disrupted from 11:30pm due to poor visibility caused by thick fog," reports UNB.
Over five hundred vehicles, including buses and trucks, were waiting in queues on both sides of the river to cross it, Nasir added.
