Ferry service at Mawa-Karakandi point resumed yesterday noon. Some 400 vehicles were waiting on both sides of the river when ferry Thobal left Mawa at 1.10 pm. Munshiganj deputy commissioner (DC) Mosharraf Hossain said, ferries at Mawa-1 and 3 ghats could be put into service after a struggle of over 40 hours. However, Ghat No 2 will take more time as huge waves of the Padma washed away the riverbanks there. BIWTC additional general manager SM Ashiquzzaman said, 11 ferries including one Ro Ro ferry are now in service. Ferry service on Mawa-Kathalbari (Shariatpur) point resumed at 3.15 pm, he added.
