Fire Service and Civil Defence personnel have continued their efforts to find the three who are still missing in the Panchagarh trawler capsize incident.
Their recovery operation entered its seventh day on Saturday.
The three missing persons are Suren, Bhupen and Joya Rani.
Panchagarh Fire Service Assistant Director Sheikh Mahbubul Alam said 69 bodies had been found so far. Of the 69 deceased, 18 were men, 30 were women and 21 were children.
He said the Fire Service would continue its efforts until all the bodies were recovered.
On September 25, the trawler, carrying around 80 people, most of whom were Hindu devotees, capsized in the middle of the Karatoyaa River in Boda upazila of Panchagarh while heading towards Badheshwar Temple on the occasion of Mahalaya.
Twenty-five bodies were recovered on the day of the accident.
Some of the passengers managed to swim to safety.
The trawler was carrying double the number of passengers than it had the capacity to, according to the district administration.
This is the worst waterway accident the country has witnessed since the devastating fire on a Barguna-bound launch off the coast of Jhalakathi on December 24 last year which claimed 50 lives.
