It's being a country of rivers. River journey one of the attractive journey in our country especially at the southern part of Bangladesh. But this attractive journey become horrible when especial occasion like EID has come.Every year we have to see some horrible accidents.With the rivers full to the brim with monsoon water, the size of crowds
at the terminal for launch tickets has increased as buses are unable to
operate at some places and taking too long to reach destinations due to
rundown condition of roads.Sadarghat launch terminal is full of
newly painted vessels waiting to overload as usual up to double or
triple their capacities to transport home bound passengers. Some of those
are not even fit at all.
This is Eid,the largest occasion of muslims.People go to their near and dear ones,they do not think about any risk.they do not care whether the vessels are overloaded or not.This is the great mistake of people.If they become conscious they can stay a safe life.

4-8-14,another black day!!
The overloaded launch was on its way to Mawa from Kewrakandi at 11am
Monday (4-8-14)
Pinak-6 that was on its way to Mawa from Kewrakandi was carrying more
than 200 passengers against a capacity of 85. It sank in the face of
strong waves and high winds in the mighty river.
Today is the 4th day....Their tears have gone dry. But they have kept waiting on the banks of the Padma river at
Mawa Ghat to get news of their loved ones who drowned with the ill-fated
Pinak-6.
