Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) today suspended the operation of all types of vessels across the country due to the inclement weather.

BIWTA public relations officer Mobarak Hossain said the plying of launches, ferries and speedboats will remain halted on all waterways throughout the country until further notice.

He said the decision came following incessant rains across the country under the influence of the land depression.
