Four children, including two siblings, were killed when a floating drum bridge collapsed into the old Brahmaputra River in front of Dewanganj Police Station in Jamalpur on the afternoon of Eid day. At least seven others remain missing following the incident. Police reported that the bridge gave way after too many people gathered on it to celebrate Eid by the riverside.
Rescue operations were launched immediately by police, army, and fire service personnel, who recovered the bodies of the four children from the river. The victims were identified as Maya Moni, daughter of Zainal Abedin of Dakatia Para; Khadija Akter, daughter of Sher Ali of Jhalur Char; and two 14-year-old boys named Motaleb Hossain and Abid.
Authorities confirmed that the rescue operation was still ongoing as of the latest update, with efforts continuing to locate the missing individuals.
