Hope fades for further scooping of oil slick

The Forest Department looks fighting a losing battle to manually clean up the spilt-oil from rivers in the Sundarbans as it has already dissolved in river waters. “Most of the oil has already dissolved or spread faraway,” Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) Amir Hossain told UNB. He said as the oil is becoming less visible on the water surface due to the dissolution, the hope for further scooping of the slick is getting dimmer, according to a news agency.
