A large number of holidaymakers have been thronging the Paturia-Daulatdia ferry ghats since Saturday morning to cross the river.
Despite the heavy traffic, cattle-laden vehicles are crossing smoothly due to strict monitoring by law enforcement agencies.
The number of ferries has been increased for Eid-ul-Azha.
Authorities have taken steps to ensure a hassle-free journey for the people of 21 south-eastern regions.
Deputy General Manager of BIWTC, Khaled Newaz, reported that 20 ferries are operating on the route. Additional police are ensuring smooth travel and prioritising cattle-laden vehicles to reach their markets, said Superintendent of Manikganj Police Md Golam Azad.
