Ferry service resumes on Shimulia-Kawrakandi route

The ferry service on Shimulia-Kawrakandi route resumed this morning after 11.15 hours 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 11 pm due to poor visibility.

About 800 vehicles, including buses, trucks and cars, remained stranded at both ends of the important route, he added.
