26 people missing in the trawler sinking incident in the Bay of Bengal are still not found

The Dhaka Times Desk Accidents occur occasionally but due to lack of necessary measures to avoid accidents, the same incidents happen again and again. Yesterday, 1 person was killed when a fishing trawler sank after being hit by a ship in the Bay of Bengal. The search for 26 people missing in the sinking of that trawler has not yet been found.

A midship trawler named 'MV Bandhan' sank after being hit by a ship in the Bay of Bengal off Cox's Bazar. 3 people have been rescued in this incident. Among them, one person was killed. 26 people are still missing. Navy ship Samudra Jai has joined the rescue operation. But so far no one has been rescued. The accident took place in the deep sea near Cox's Bazar at around 3:00 p.m. last Thursday.

It is learned that the incident took place when a Singapore-bound vessel rammed the fishing trawler named 'MV Bandhan' while deep sea fishing at night. While fishing, the ship suddenly came very close. But before he could understand anything, the ship hit. An attempt was made to turn the trawler around but it was not possible.

Meanwhile, the relatives of the missing trawler said that they had a conversation on the mobile phone shortly before the accident. One said that he spoke to him 10 or 15 minutes before the accident. It is said that he will go off the network anytime due to deep sea fishing.

As of writing this report, rescuers continued to search extensively after the accident. But no trace of the missing 26 people was found. The search is ongoing.
