Bodies of another woman and a child were recovered from the Meghna River near the railway bridge in Kishoreganj's Bhairab.

Fire service divers brought the bodies to the river bank around 1pm on Saturday (23 March) from within the submerged trawler. Earlier on Friday evening, a passenger trawler en route to Bhairab from Ashuganj was hit by a bulkhead in the Meghna River near Bhairab.

Thus far, three bodies - two women and a child - have been recovered, while six others still remain missing.

The newly recovered bodies are yet to be identified, and efforts to rescue the remaining missing individuals are underway, he added.

Following the incident, local fishermen recovered the body of a passenger named Subarna Begum.
