Vessel services on all routes suspended
Dhaka: Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) on Saturday suspended the operation of all types of vessels across Bangladesh due to the inclement weather.
BIWTA public relations officer Mobarak Hossain said the plying of launches, ferries and speedboats will remain halted on all waterways throughout the country until further notice.
He said the decision came following incessant rains across the country under the influence of depression in the Bay of Bengal.
