Four more bodies were found this morning raising the death toll to seven in the Meghna river boat capsize of yesterday during a storm in Narsinghdi.

Fire Service and Civil Defence found bodies of two children and two women from the sunken boat around 11:00am today. Yesterday, three minors drowned in the incident.

No more are missing, our Narsinghdi correspondent reports quoting Sub Inspector Anwar Hossen, in-charge of Meghna Naval Police Outpost. "The boat is still under water."

An engine-driven boat with 60/70 passengers was caught in the storm around 1:30pm yesterday while going to Bogargoth in the Sadar upazila from Narsingdi's Puranchar Bazar.

Though most of the passengers swam ashore, three minors died and 13 went missing. Bodies of the three minors were recovered by the locals.
