A bus that sank at the Daulatdia ferry terminal in Rajbari’s Goalanda upazila was recovered on Friday morning. The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. when the bus fell into the Padma River near the terminal’s No. 7 pontoon. Local administration and fire service teams launched a rescue operation immediately, and the BIWTA salvage vessel ‘Hamza’ arrived at the scene by 10:30 a.m. The bus was successfully recovered by 11:30 a.m.
According to reports, the SB Paribahan bus had no passengers on board at the time of the accident, only the driver, his assistant, and a supervisor. They were rescued and sent to the Goalanda Upazila Health Complex. Officials said that as all passengers had been disembarked before boarding the ferry, a major tragedy was averted.
A similar accident occurred earlier on March 25, when a bus from Kumarkhali, Kushtia, fell into the river at the same terminal’s No. 3 pontoon, resulting in 26 deaths.
