A boat carrying four tourists from New Zealand capsized in the sea at Cox's Bazar. While three of the tourists were rescued safely by local residents and rescuers, one tourist remains missing. The Coast Guard and naval police have launched a search and rescue operation in the sea to find the missing tourist.
According to local sources, the four New Zealand nationals had come to visit the Cox's Bazar beach area. This morning, they were heading out into the sea on a small boat when it suddenly overturned due to strong waves. Upon receiving the news, rescue teams rushed to the spot.
Administrative officials stated that all efforts are being made to locate the missing tourist. Divers from the Coast Guard are conducting searches in the sea. The three rescued tourists have been given first aid and are currently in stable condition.
This incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of tourists in the sea. Local authorities mentioned that although wearing life jackets is mandatory for tourists, the rules are often ignored. Following this incident, the administration is considering tightening security measures in the beach area.
“The boat capsize involving foreign tourists in Cox's Bazar highlights the gaps in our tourism safety measures. Ensuring the mandatory use of life jackets and restricting boat movement during rough weather are crucial to preventing such accidents.”
