Naval divers and rescue workers found 30 more bodies today from an ill-fated ferry which capsized in Meghna river in southwest Bangladesh, taking the death toll in the mishap to 65, officials said.
Warning that the toll may rise further, officials said the rescuers were trying to raise the wreckage of the ferry to bring it ashore to find out the fate of dozens of passengers still missing.
The ferry ‘MV Shariatpur-1’ collided head-on with a cargo boat and capsized in darkness early yesterday morning, trapping most of the estimated 300 passengers on board the boat headed for the capital Dhaka.
