authorities say scores of people are missing after the MV Sarash overturned Friday in the Meghna River in the Munshiganj district.

Local officials say at least 25 people have been rescued. Several others swam ashore.

Bangladesh has a history of boating disasters because of its lax safety standards and frequent overloading of vessels.孟加拉國中部地區的官員說，一艘運載100多名乘客的渡輪與一艘運沙駁船碰撞後傾覆。

有關當局說，“薩拉什號”渡輪星期五在蒙希甘傑地區的梅克納河上傾覆，目前還有數十人下落不明。

地方官員說，至少已有25人獲救。還有幾個人是游泳上岸的。

孟加拉國缺乏嚴格的安全標準，而且船隻常常超載，因此長期以來不斷髮生船運災難。
