The ferry service on Daulatdia-Paturia route been disrupted due to shortage of ferries compared to the number of vehicles and the navigability crisis on the Padma River.
The disruption of ferry services is causing a 4-km long tailback of passenger buses and goods-laden trucks on the Dhaka-Khulna highway at Daulatdia end of Rajbari, said a media report.
Covered van driver Yasin Ali said, “I have been waiting for ferry for 12 hours. It is very tough task to wait on the highway during this summer time.”
