It is not acceptable that the disaster on waterway will continue and Ministers will be shocked for tragic incident on the river, in which so many people will lose their lives.
When the rescue operation has been called off in the morning on February 23, 2015 on Padma after passenger ferry MV Mostofa-3 was pulled out and turned around near the banks of the river, 69 bodies were fished out of the river, more than 20 hours after the disaster.
Last year, a similar accident killed dozens in Munshiganj. In 2012, over 100 people died when a ferry sank on the Meghna after colliding with a cargo vessel.
Accidents on Bangladesh’s vast waterways are badly common that are often blamed on overcrowding, poor vessel quality, lack of skill of captains etc. Probe committee is also a hopeless practice from which no result is found.
Why it will be happened regularly? Why people will die by this type of accident regularly?
