Kazirhat-Paturia ferry service resumes tomorrow
Preparations are at the final stage as ferry service on Kazirhat-Paturia route resumes tomorrow after over one year.
Ferry service on Kazirhat-Paturia route will be available three times a day from each of the ends, BIWTC officials said, adding that vehicle owners and workers have already been informed of the matter.
“Two Ro-Ro ferries will operate on Kazirhat-Paturia route as ferry service starts again from October 10. The ferries will start at 11:00am, 3:00pm and 9:00pm from Kazirhat ghat and at 8:00am, 12:00pm and 6:00pm everyday from Paturia ghat,” said Md Golam Sarwar, manager of Kazirhat ferry ghat.
Demanding regular operation of Kazirhat-Paturia ferry service, several transport owners said the ferry service will help to greatly shorten distance between Pabna and other northern districts and Dhaka and reduce pressure on Jamuna Bridge.
Earlier attempts to resume the ferry service failed twice after the ferry service between Kazirhat and Paturia was stopped on July 30 last year.
