Ferry service resumes on Shimulia-Kawrakandi route

The ferry service on Shimulia-Kawrakandi route resumed this morning after six-hour suspension due to thick fog on the route.

Manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) of Shimulia Giasuddin Patwary said the ferry movement was suspended from 3 am due to poor visibility.

About 500 vehicles, including buses, trucks and cars, remained stranded at both ends of the important route, he added.

However, the ferry service resumed around 9 am as fog started disappearing with the sunrise.
