Dhaka: All 35 dead in
a boat capsize in northeastern Bangladesh were women and children,
media reports said Sunday. At least 10 people are still missing.
The accident occurred when their motorboat collided with a trawler
carrying sand at around 9.30 p.m. Saturday on the Surma river in
Sunamganj district, around 290 km northeast of Dhaka.
Among the few survivors was a farmer named Mohabbat Ali, who
jumped off the boat immediately after the collision occurred.
Around 40 passengers swam ashore while local people rescued
several others, The Daily Star reported.
