Munshiganj: Ro Ro ferry services on the Shimulia-Kewrakandi route was suspended in the early hours of Thursday due to poor navigability on the route.

BIWTC manager Abdul Alim said at about 12:45am, a Ro Ro ferry normally needs seven and a half feet water in the channel for plying while it is now only seven feet.

They could not be able to make the channel navigable until it was dredged, added the official.

The suspension of ferry services has caused traffic congestion on both sides of the route.
