Another ferry hit a pillar of the under-construction Padma Bridge today.
The ferry named Bir Srestho Jahangir hit the 10th pillar of the bridge at 7pm near Mawa of Munshiganj, BIWTA Chairman Md Tajul Islam told The Business Standard.
The BIWTA chairman said the incident took place while the ferry tried to give side to a sand-laden bulkhead.
"We did not immediately know if the bridge was harmed but the ferry was slightly damaged," he added.
Earlier on 23 July, a passenger ferry named ShahJalal hit the 17th pillar of the bridge after the driver lost control over the steering.
