MANIKGANJ Jan 12, 2018 (BSS) – The movement of ferry services on the
Paturia-Daulatdia route resumed this morning after seven hours of its

Transport Corporation (BIWTC) of Paturia ghat told BSS that the ferry
movement resumed at about 10:30 am.

The BIWTC authorities suspended plying of ferries on the route around

incident, he said.

During the suspension, about 500 vehicles, including passenger buses,
trucks and cars, remained stranded at both ghats, Nasir added.
