The news of the death of 11 students, nine from Khulna University and two from BUET, in the Bay at Sunderbans is so tragic that it has made us numb with shock and sorrow. What a heart-breaking incident; why did this to happen? Those youngsters went to enjoy life but fate decided otherwise.

Everyone must be warned that it is dangerous to bathe in the sea when it is in ebb, no one should ignore it and try to be adventurous.

Our deep sympathy to the families who lost their sons and daughter. May the Almighty Allah give them strength to bear this loss agony. We are praying for the salvation of the departed souls.
