Dhaka: At least six people, including a child, on Thursday drowned and hundreds were missing when an overcrowded ferry carrying nearly 200 passengers capsized in a storm in Bangladesh’s Meghna river.

The ferry MV Miraj-4 sank around 3:30 pm (local time) at Daulatpur while on its way to Sureshwar from Sadarghat in Munshiganj district, Deputy Commissioner Saiful Hasan said. Two ships left Narayanganj for Munshiganj to join the rescue operation, the Daily Star reported. (PTI)
