River ferries resume from Sadarghat after one-hour rough weather pause

River ferries have resumed operations from Dhaka’s Sadarghat terminal after rough weather forced suspension for an hour.

The BIIWTA’s Transport Inspector Humayun Kabir told bdnews24.com the suspension came into force from 7:30pm on Saturday after a nor'wester storm blew over Dhaka.

The water vessels that had already left Sadarghat have been told to anchor in safe places.

After the weather improved, launches more than 65-foot long began to run on the routes around 8:20pm, he added.

All river ports have been asked to hoist danger signal no. 2 as the threat of the seasonal storm loomed, said Met office weatherman Ruhul Kuddus.
