In the wake of Cyclone Midhili, approximately 500 homes have been destroyed in Bhola along with a trawler capsizing with four fishermen in the Meghna River on Friday, including one remaining missing.
The missing fisherman Badsha Mia, 50, hails from the Mollanchora Union.
The Bhola district control room reported that initially 426 houses partially and 73 houses have been completely destroyed in Bhola alone.
Safik Majhi, the survivor, said that as the boat reached the middle of the river, it capsized due to the impact of a wave, intended to reach the shore. Despite efforts by nearby fishermen from other districts to rescue them, Badsha Mia could not be located.
Mollanchora union parishad Chairman Nurunnabi Shikdar Babul said that news of the capsized boat has been communicated to the upazila administration, and efforts are underway to search for the missing person in the river.
Tazumuddin Police Station Officer-in-Charge, Maksudur Rahman Murad, said that they received information about the capsized boat through the upazila officer, and efforts are ongoing to locate the missing individual.
