The Minister of State for Maritime Transport, Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury, said: “Work is underway on the Padma Bridge on the Padma River above the current. The span will not be installed on the Padma Bridge due to the current. The ferries get stuck. It is feared that normal ferry service at night could lead to serious accidents. The government does not want the Padma Bridge to be interrupted or damaged due to whims. That is why the ferry service has been stopped since night to ensure the safety of the Padma Bridge and avoid accidents.
