Heavy vehicles advised to avoid Mawa ferry route
Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) on Sunday requested heavy vehicles to choose alternative route instead of Shimulia-Kathalbari river route as dredging activities are being carried out on the route.
In a notice, BIWTA said dredging is being held on the Shimulia-Kathalbari river route to bring back navigability in the Padma river at the point, reports BSS.
However, ferries are being operated on the route carrying small vehicles, the notice added.
