“Ferry crossings were halted at 4am on Wednesday due to poor visibility caused by the fog,” said Abu Abdullah, manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation, or BIWTC, Daulatdia terminal.
 
Normal services resumed at 9:30am after the fog subsided. Vehicles previously stranded at the terminal have started boarding the ferries again.
 
Fifteen ferries are currently in operation, said Abu.
