Launch services on the Paturia-Daulatdia and Aricha-Kazirhat routes remain suspended since this morning due to inclement weather.

However, ferry operations are as normal, reports our Manikganj correspondent.

Paturia Launch Terminal’s Supervisor Panna Lal Nandi said it was raining in the PadmaRiver area since morning.

To avoid any untoward incident, the authorities suspended the launch services from 8:30am.

A total of 34 launches — 18 between Paturia and Daulatdia and 16 between Aricha and Kazirhat–  usually runs on these two routes.
