Dense fog disrupts Shimulia-Kawrakandi ferry service for 4hrs

Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) yesterday halted ferry service on Shimulia-Kawrakandi route for four hours from 4:30am as all beacons became invisible in dense fog.

As a result, eight ferries got stuck in the river while some 200 vehicles got stuck on both sides of the river, said Abdul Alim, BIWTC manager at Shimulia ghat.

Now, 14 ferries are running on the route.
