Speedboats unregulated for decade
Right under the authorities noses, unskilled drivers have been operating unregistered speedboats on the Padma s Shimulia-Bangla Bazar route for over a decade.
The issue has come into the limelight after one such motorboat crashed into a sand-laden bulk carrier near Bangla Bazar Ferry Ghat in Madaripur s Shibchar upazila on Monday morning, leaving 26 passengers, including women and children, dead.
Sources in the Shimulia Ferry Terminal in Munshiganj said around 400 speedboats are operated on the route, flouting the safety rules.
Only a few of them have registrations while the rest are operating illegally, said an official of the Department of Shipping (DoS), a government body authorised to regulate the country s water transports.

Brief Summary:
The COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War-II.Corona virus is transmitted via respiratory droplets or aerosol, produced from sneezing or coughing of infected persons to healthy individual through mouth, nose and eye. PVP-I gargle/spray used in throat and nose are shown to have broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and may have preventive effect on SARS-CoV-2.
0.6% PVP-I oro-nasal spray phase 3 clinical trial will be conducted in three dedicated Covid-19 hospitals namely Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Kurmitola General Hospital, Kuwait-Moitree Hospital. Chemical compound of the oro-nasal spray which was developed and tested at Bangladesh Reference Institute for Chemical Measurements, for its quality control/ quality assurance, shelf life and related stability following GLP guideline.
As the demand for oxygen increased at hospitals amid this second wave of the pandemic, a group of Buet researchers has developed a low-cost portable ventilator that can deliver oxygen to patients efficiently without electricity.
The non-invasive device, which requires a connection with an cylinder or medical oxygen supply, is designed to help severe coronavirus patients with low oxygen levels, according to the researchers.
Named OxyJet CPAP by the researchers from Buet s Department of Biomedical Engineering, it has already been field-tested and approved for clinical trials.
This device can be used in remote villages or ambulances wherever it is possible to carry cylinders as an alternative to the high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) support.
