Traffic jam eases at Daulatdia as ferry services resume

BIWTC and BIWTA dredged the Daulatdia–Paturia river channel to facilitate ferry movement.
Traffic jam in Daulatdia eased slightly Saturday after nine hours of frantic efforts by Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation and Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority.
BIWTC and BIWTA dredged the Daulatdia–Paturia river channel to facilitate ferry movement.
Ferry operation on the river route was suspended due to emergence of hidden shoals and poor navigability at the entrance points on both sides of the ferry ghats.
Transpiration by ferries suffered a serious setback over the last couple of days that resulted in an immense sufferings to the passengers and vehicles.
The situation led to 4-5 miles long queue of goods-laden trucks on Dhaka-Khulna highway across Daulatdia. Shortage of ferries, strong current and poor navigability in the river Padma are attributed to the frequent setbacks to the ferry operation.
A regular scenerio being that vessels get stuck in hidden shoals and ferry services get interrupted. Ferry services resumed Saturday after an emergency dredging at the entrance point of Daulatdia river channel.
Of the 13 ferries, seven RO-RO ferries and two K-type small ferries started sailing on the river route nine hours after passengers were left stranded.
Sources said ferries could not reach Daulatdia from Paturia ferry ghat due to emergence of innumerable shoals on the river route. Lack of proper and timely dredging in the river Padma led to the situation.
Hundreds of passenger buses and goods-laden trucks travelling to and from the south and southern districts had to wait for hours on both sides of ferry ghats.
Heavy current and a rapid fall in water level were also bar to ferry movement with its full load and speed. On Saturday, two ferries Shajalal and Hamidur Rahman got stuck in hidden shoals and were later salvaged by tug boat.
BIWTC Assistant General Manager Md Zillur Rahman of Daulatdia-Paturia ferry services Saturday told this correspondent two ferries Motiur Rahman and keramot Ali were out of service in the wake of technical glitch and had been sent to dockyard Saturday.
Many big ferries are carrying passenger buses and goods-laden trucks at half their capacity due to strong current and hidden shoals in the river.
Ferry master Kefayet Ullah of vessel Khanjahan said at least nine-fourteen feet depth of water were necessary for smooth ferry movement.
The depth of water in the river is below nine feet at different points including those at Daulatdia and Paturia ferry ghats.
Executive Engineer of BIWTA (Aricha) Md Tarequl Hassan said: “We started dredging to create 8,000 feet long and 2,500 feet wide new approach channel to maintain ferry services.

Dredging not Helping Daulatdia-Paturia Ferry Services

Authorities have started dredging the Daulatdia and Paturia channels of the Padma River, but water transport officials said ferry services on the route were unlikely to return to normal immediately.
Sources said ferry operations between Daulatdia and Paturia were disrupted because of poor navigability due to siltation, submerged shoals, strong currents and low water level in the two river channels.
Frequent suspension of ferry services on the route has been hampering communications between the capital, Dhaka, and 21 southwestern districts.
Md Zillur Rahman, assistant general manager of Daulatdia river terminal, said a ferry, the Bir Shreshtho Motiur Rahman, carrying four heavy vehicles and a dozen microbuses, was stranded in shoal near the No:2 jetty overnight Monday. The vessel was salvaged Tuesday morning.
Daulatdia-Paturia ferry services improved somewhat on Monday using an alternative channel. But navigability of the main channel remained poor, restricting ferry movement on both channels.
Long queues of cars, buses and trucks were seen Tuesday afternoon at the Daulatdia ferry terminal, waiting for hours to travel on the Dhaka-Khulna highway.
Meanwhile, dredgers could not be operated properly due to strong currents in the channels, said Tarequl Hasan, executive engineer of BIWTA (Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority).
A BIWTC (Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation) official said a fully-loaded ferry needs two to three metres of water to move, whereas the current depth of the channels was below two metres.
The water level was falling by eight to 10 centimetres every day, which calls for long-term dredging to restore navigability, he added.
However, BIWTA officials claimed that the depth of the newly-opened channel was above two metres, and it would be possible to restore normal ferry operations soon.

Dense Fog Disrupts Ferry Services On Kawrakandi, Daulatdia Routes

Dense fog forced nine ferries left from both ghats to anchor in the middle of

the river causing about 200 vehicles to spend the night in the middle of the river

Ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia and Shimulia-Kawrakandi routes came to a halt yesterday for several hours because of dense fog.

The ferry services between the Shimulia-Kawrakandi route along the Padma River resumed after five hours, causing tailback on both sides of the river, our Munshiganj correspondent reported.

Hundreds of vehicles, including perishable goods-laden truck, waited in long queues in the morning.

Assistant Manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) in charge of Shimulia pontoon Shekhar Chandra Roy said they had been compelled to suspend the ferry services around 4am due to thick fog.

“We started ferry services around 9am,” he said.

Dense fog forced nine ferries left from both ghats to anchor in the middle of the river causing about 1,000 passengers and 200 vehicles to spend the night in the middle of the river.

“About 200 hundred vehicles got stuck on both sides because of the disruption, creating immense suffering to the commuters,” he added.

Meanwhile, ferry services on the Daulatdia-Paturia route along the Padma River resumed in the morning after a four-hour disruption for thick fog, reports UNB.

Mahiuddin Rasel, manager of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (BIWTC) at Aricha, said the ferry services as well as the plying of other water vessels came to a halt at 4am due to blurred visibility caused by dense fog.

Two ferries with a large number of vehicles and passengers were kept anchored at Daulatdia while three were at Paturia.

Eleven ferries stood in the middle of the Padma river since 4am.

Passengers and a good number of vehicles were waiting to cross on either side of the river.

Ferry services on the important route resumed around 8am as fog started disappearing after sunrise.
