The engine stopped working after the pontoon was hit by a storm while moving. It was subsequently dragged to the downstream by the wind to anchor on the deepest side of the river.

It took the timely intervention of some local boat operators to rescue the passengers on board the ferry to the shores of the river to prevent what would have been a national disaster.
However, Cargo vehicles and passenger vehicles are still stuck on the river.
