The Dhaka Times Desk 23 bodies were found in different districts. Pinac-6 has not yet been found. The question has arisen that Pinak-6 will never be recovered? Or like Dinara and Nasreen will remain missing?
A total of 23 bodies have been recovered from different districts till Wednesday night in the case of launch sinking in Mawar Padma of Munshiganj. Out of this, 8 bodies have been handed over to the relatives. The remaining 15 bodies could not be handed over as they were not identified.
According to the list prepared by the administration after the launch dive, the number of missing persons is 137. Apart from this, 40 people were rescued alive during the launch sinking. The bodies of two women were recovered from Padma in Mawa area on Monday. The next day, Tuesday, two more bodies were recovered from Haimchar in Madaripur.
A total of 23 bodies were recovered including 6 in Bhola, 4 in Munshiganj, 4 in Chandpur, 1 in Lahmipur, 2 in Barisal and 6 in Shariatpur. The relevant administration sources have confirmed that these bodies are passengers of the launch Pinak-6.
Meanwhile, the rescuers could not locate Pinak-6 even in the last 3 days. The missing launch Pinak-6 was not found even after a search within a radius of at least 5 miles without finding it within 3 miles of the accident.
In such a situation, it is thought that Pinak-6 is moving in the direction of Dinara and Nasreen. MV Dinar-2, MV Nasreen-1 and MV Digant sank in Chandpur's Meghna. All the 3 ships are still missing. Doubts have arisen whether the fate of Pinak-6 is also on the same path. Many boats including those 3 passenger launches in Meghna are still missing today, they could not be rescued.
It has been reported that despite many efforts by rescue ships Rustam, Hamza and Navy rescue ships Shaibal and Shahjalal, the launch 3 sunk in Meghna could not be recovered. Despite many searches, the launches were not found and could not be recovered. Many people think that the end of Pinak-6 is also going in that direction. Thousands of passengers were buried in those 3 passenger launches. The relatives did not even get their bodies back.
Those concerned are working day and night to rescue Pinak-6 which sank in Padma at Mawa, Munshiganj. But even after 3 days Pinak-6 is still not found. No one can say when the launch will be found.

Everyone is worried about the consequences of Pinak-6 that sank on Monday in Mawa Padma, Munshiganj. Because those who die will not come back to life. But the fact that the relatives will see them for the last time and send them off according to religious rituals will not help them either. Today we pray to God in Kaymono words that the Pinak-6 launch be saved and the relatives at least get back the dead bodies of their relatives.
It is to be noted that while coming from Kawrakandi to Mawaghat in Munshiganj, the launch named Pinak-6 sank with about 300 passengers on Monday at 11 am. Even though the last three days have passed, no trace of the launch has been found.
