Ferry service on Chandpur-Shariatpur route resumed this morning after nearly six hours of suspension due to dense fog in the Meghna River. The authorities concerned were forced to suspend the ferry services from 12 am to 6 am on Wednesday (3 January) to avert accidents.
Hundreds of vehicles waiting to cross the river remained stuck at both ends of the river, causing distress to passengers and drivers in the chilly weather.
Faisal Alam Chowdhury, manager of Harina Ferry Ghat in Chandpur, said the ferry services resumed around 6 am after the visibility issues caused by the dense fog improved.
