Massive crowds at Shimulia, Banglabazar ferry ghat
Crowds are forming at Shimulia and Banglabazar ferry ghat as the government has declared a seven-day complete lockdown from Monday.
Commuters have been crowding the areas since early morning. As speedboats and launches are unavailable, passenger pressure on the ferries remains high, reports our correspondent.
Thousands of people are traveling on these routes, braving immense sufferings due to no long-distance buses during the ongoing lockdown in Munshiganj.
Safayet Ahmed, BIWTC manager at Shimulia ghat, said 14 ferries are plying the Shimulia-Banglabazar waterway. Only vehicles providing emergency services were supposed to use the ferries.
