Dhaka: A Bangladesh ferry with over 100 passengers sank on Sunday after colliding with a cargo ship, reports said.
Ferry MV Mostofa, with some 150 passengers capsized into River Padma after it collided with a cargo vessel at the Daulatdia-Paturia crossing, Fire Department said according to a news agency.
While few dozens of the passengers managed to swim ashore, a rescue operation is on to save others.
Fire Department official Shahzadi Begum said rescue teams were deployed and many passing boats were helping in the operation.
Inspector Zihad Mia, who is overseeing the rescue, said that that the ferry was submerged at a depth of up to 20 feet (6 meters).
The Padma is one of the largest rivers in the delta nation, which is crisscrossed by more than 130 rivers.
Low-lying Bangladesh, with extensive inland waterways and slack safety standards, suffers regular ferry disasters, with deaths sometimes running into the hundreds.
Last August, a ferry with a capacity of 85 passengers was found to be carrying more than 200 when it capsized also on the Padma near Dhaka, leaving with more than 100 people dead or missing. The owner was arrested after weeks in hiding on charges of culpable homicide, unauthorized operation and overloading.

In her upcoming film Ek Paheli Leela, Sunny Leone will be seen in three different avatars, one of them being a supermodel. And the former adult film actress felt so ‘close’ to this character that she decided to add a personal touch to the role.
A source told Mirror that Sunny pulled out a bikini from her personal collection. She’d worn it in one of her pre-Bollywood films. “It was a Valentine’s Day gift from her husband Daniel Weber,” added the source.
The bikini in question was required for a peppy number and the makers let Sunny pick one from her own wardrobe.”She phoned Daniel, who was to join them on the set later and he got the outfit along. Similar pink bikinis were then made-toorder for the background dancers,” said the source.
Confirming this, director Bobby Khan told Mirror, “We were looking for a perfect bikini for Sunny. We had four trials but none of the swimsuits worked. It was Sunny’s idea to pick the pink bikini, its Daniel’s favourite too.”
Feared Islamic State chief Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, carrying a USD 10 million bounty on his head, had to repeat a year at school, was turned down for the Iraqi army and failed to win a university place to study law.
Baghdadi, who declared himself as Caliph and renamed the ISIS as Islamic State, was less than outstanding in his youth, according to information gathered by researchers in Germany.
44-year-old radical Islamist leader heads the dreaded ISIS that has seized swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria and executed hundreds of civilians and foreigners has declared himself caliph of a new Islamic State had to repeat a year at school because he was so bad at English,” London-based Independent newspaper said, citing new details emerged about the background of the ISIS leader.
The Suddeutsche Zeitung newspaper and Germany’s ARD TV channel showed new details yesterday after interviewing residents of Samarra, Baghdadi’s home town in Iraq, where he went to school and played football in its narrow streets.
“He loved power and being influential,” said one former neighbour of Baghdadi, who was the third of four sons born to a devout Sunni Muslim family.
“He was turned down for the Iraqi army, despite being a member of the Sunni minority favoured by the regime of the country’s dictator, Saddam Hussein, because he was too short-sighted,” the reports said.
Baghdadi was rated as “an average pupil at the town’s grammar school and his school matriculation marks were too low for Baghdad university to accept him on its law course,” the media reports said.
“Instead, he opted for Islamic theology, a subject whose study – perhaps combined with his earlier experiences – contributed to radicalising his views,” they said.
After eight years studying Islamic theology, he emerged with a PhD degree in 1999.
The Suddeutsche Zeitung said Baghdadi’s university doctorate helped him rise to become ISIS leader and enabled him to construct a “theological justification” for the organisation’s brutality.
“School friends of his have been killed by ISIS,” one neighbours told the Suddeutsche Zeitung. “Then he emerges as emir (chief) of this organisation – that’s really frightening.”
