"But we have halted all launch services as an added precaution. At least 103 launches have set off for different destinations around Bangladesh from Dhaka's Sadarghat during the second day of Eid travels on Saturday. And 23 vessels had set sail from the capital until 10:30 am on Sunday. Since then, two launches were scheduled to depart for Chandpur but did not leave the dock, said the BIWTA official. As a result, launch passengers face an uncertain wait at Sadarghat before reuniting with their loved ones for Eid.
