At least 600 vehicles await the ferry crossing at Shimulia Ghat in Munshiganj. There were no signs of them following the hygiene rules.
According to interested people, the number of vehicles to cross by ferry increases every day. Currently, 13 ferries run on the Shimulia-Kanthalbari route. However, the ghat authorities are having difficulty crossing the street. Today is the busiest day in the past two weeks.
Shimulia Ghat Deputy Trade Manager (BIWTC) of Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Corporation (Trade) said. Faisal said the pressure from cargo vehicles increases at night. In the morning there is pressure from small cars. There are still at least six hundred ferries waiting on the dock, most of them small cars. Vehicles wait on the road as there is not enough space in the ghat parking lot.
Nashmur Raihan, Munshiganj Senior Assistant Superintendent of Police (Traffic) said: ‘Traffic suddenly increased in Shimulia Ghat from Thursday night. I think people have started leaving Dhaka for the Eid holidays. But we are discouraging those who go to South Bengal with rented cars. In many cases sending them back. But those who travel in their own cars are allowed to cross the ferry. ‘
Asked what steps the government has taken to control the coronavirus, he said: “We have not received any new instructions to strengthen traffic control.”
