Launches operating on inland waterways from Dhaka resumed at 12pm on Tuesday following the withdrawal of the warning signal issued by the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) after the influence of Cyclone Remal weakened.
Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) Public Relations Officer Ehteshamul Parvez confirmed the matter in a press release.
Earlier on Sunday, the Shipping Ministry suspended launch services on all routes from 10pm due to the deep depression over the east-central Bay and adjoining west-central Bay intensifying into Cyclone Remal.
