A diver team of Fire Service and Civil Defence (FSCD) on Saturday recovered the body of three-year old Hridoy, who went missing in Jirani Canal of the city’s Mugda area six days ago.Fire Service Deputy Director (Operations and Maintenance) Debashish Bardhan said that they recovered the body at around 02:45pm yesterday.
The divers have managed to trace the body at the same point of the canal where Hridoy fell into, he said.
The body has been sent to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital (DMCH), the FSCD official said.
He said, their operation was slowed down following the layer of solid waste on the water.
“It’s also deep enough and there’re lots of bamboos under the water. The obstacles were hindering our operation,” he said.
Enamul Hoque, Officer-in-Charge of Mugda Police Station, said police had been assisting the firefighters to rescue Hridoy.
