Launch services on Paturia-Daulatdia route resumed after 13 hours of suspension on Saturday.
Panna Lal Nandi, manager of Paturia Launch Ghat, said that the ferry services resumed around 7:30am from Koroitola area near Paturia鈥檚 no 1 ferry ghat.
鈥楾he launches are operating temporarily from Koraitola bank but without a pontoon which makes passenger boarding highly risky,鈥� he said.
Earlier, the operation of the launch services on the route remained suspended on Tuesday evening as the main jetty at the Paturia launch terminal was washed away due to river erosion.
However, the authorities had shifted launch operations to the pontoon of Paturia鈥檚 no 2 ferry terminal.
But due to the strong current, the ramp of the makeshift terminal submerged due to strong current on Friday evening, forcing the authorities to suspend the launch services.
