BAGERHAT, May 15 : Although about six months have elapsed since the capsize of a tourist vessel in the Shela River in the Sundarbans East Zone, the authorities are yet to come up with any effort to remove the sunken vessel, turning the area into a 'capsize trap' for vessels plying the route, Forest Department officials said. Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of the Sundarbans East Zone Amir Hossain Chowdhury said 'MV Shahidoot', a three-storey tourist vessel, capsized in the river near Harinaghata Camp of Chandpai Range of the mangrove on November 24 last year. Now the capsize spot has turned very risky for the plying of vessels. — UNB
