Two persons drowned while they were visiting a haor in Sylhet yesterday.
The deceased are Moinul Islam, 40, and his nephew Maruf, 10, of Fakirergaon village under Sylhet sadar upazila.
Locals said Moinul took his children and nephews on a boat trip to the Dhapna Haor. The boat capsized when the children on board tried to pluck some water lilies. The local fishermen managed to rescue all of the children except Maruf. Moinul died on the spot while frantically trying to save the children.
