Ferry services along the Shimulia-Kathalbari water route, from the capital to 21 districts in the south, have resumed. Water travel had been restricted since Friday due to bad weather, BIWTA public relations official Md Mobarak Hossain Mazumdar told bdnews24.com on Sunday. Ferry services are currently available at dock numbers 2 and 3 at Shimulia port, said MIWTA Assistant General Manager Khandker Shah Newaj Khalid. At least 600 vehicles were still waiting to leave Shimulia port after the two-day delay. “Hundreds of vehicles and thousands of travellers are still waiting at Shimulia port,” said Mawa Marine Outpost In-Charge Sarajit Kumar Ghosh.
