An operation has been launched to rescue the cargo that sank in the Kapotaksh River in Paikgachha, Khulna. Khulna’s Hossain’s diving team has started the operation to rescue the cargo. The river is full during high tide, so the diving team is working on the rescue during low tide.
It is known that on Saturday, October 3, at around 3 pm, the cargo filled with sand hit the pier of the Boilia Bridge on the Kapotaksha River and sank. The owner of the cargo is Rajab Ali Gazi of Raruli Union in Paikgachha. He said that the engine broke down after the cargo reached the Kapotaksha River, and the cargo could not be controlled. The cargo hit the pier of the Boilia Bridge and sank while floating. At that time, the cargo was filled with sand. Khulna diver Hossain will have to pay 3 lakh 70 thousand taka to rescue the cargo. Rescue work has been going on for 3 days. The cargo may be recovered from under the water tomorrow.
Hundreds of people are crowding the two bridges of the river to watch the rescue of the cargo that sank in the Kapotaksha River. It feels like a fair to see the huge number of people present.
