Launch and sea-truck services resumed on Friday morning on 10 inland river routes, including the Bhola-Ilsha to Lakshmipur route, following a three-day suspension due to inclement weather.
BIWTA Bhola River Port Transport Inspector Mohammad Jashim Uddin said that vessel movement resumed from 10am following the withdrawal of danger signal No-3 from the country's maritime ports, as the threat of strong winds over the Bay of Bengal and adjacent coastal areas subsided.
The suspension had caused disruption to travellers, particularly those coming from distant areas.
The resumption of services brought relief to hundreds of stranded passengers, many of whom began their journeys through the Ilsha launch terminal early morning.
Although vessel operations have resumed, Bhola witnessed light to moderate rain in the morning, with the sky remaining overcast.
