10-km tailback at Daulatdia ferry ghat

A 10-kilometer queue formed on Saturday at the Daulatdia ferry ghat in Rajbari as people from 21 districts in the south-west region began returning to Dhaka by this route after celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr with their near and dear ones.

Due to a lack of enough water vessels, Daulatdia ghat is witnessing long lines of vehicles, notably buses and private cars.

According to Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) Daulatdia ghat, a total of 21 ferries are plying the Paturia-Daulatdia waterway.
