Munshiganj: The body of a worker who went missing after a sand-laden trawler that capsized in the Meghna River in Char Kishoreganj area near Munshiganj town on Sunday was recovered on Monday.

Divers pulled out the body of Md Shipon, 26, from the sunken trawler at noon, said Md Asaduzzaman, assistant director of Munshiganj Fire Service.

The trawler with seven workers on board capsized in the river on Sunday following a head-on clash with another cargo vessel, reports UNB.

Although six workers managed to swim ashore, Shipon got stuck inside the trawler as he was asleep during the incident.

However, the capsized trawler could not be salvaged.
