Launch services on the Paturia-Daulatdia route resumed this morning after a 14-hour suspension caused by strong currents and violent waves on the Jamuna River, according to the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA).

Operations were halted around 4:30pm on Wednesday as a precautionary measure to prevent accidents, BIWTA Paturia Ghat sources reported.

The suspension continued until 6:45am on Thursday when conditions were deemed safe for navigation.

Md. Shimul Islam, Traffic Supervisor at BIWTA, confirmed the resumption of services.

He said 18 launches are now operating on the route.
