1 killed in Khulna trawler capsize

A man was killed and another remained missing as an overloaded trawler capsized in the River Bhairab near Beyara ghat in Dighalia upazila of Khulna Sunday night.

The deceased was Abu Bakar Hawladar, 20, son of Shahjahan Hawladar of the upazila.

Dighalia upazila nirbahi officer said the Dighalia-bound trawler from Daulatpur carrying 50 passengers capsized near the ghat at around 10:30pm due to overloading.

Some 48 passengers, however, managed to swim ashore. Later, divers recovered the body of Abu Bakar, a labourer of a jute storehouse while another labourer Mukul still remained missing.
