At least 15 fishing boats carrying some 200 fishermen have gone missing in the Bay of Bengal today amid the rampage of cyclone Midhili in the deep sea.

Besides, a trawler named MV Nishat sunk in the deep sea with 18 fishermen, all of whom were later rescued by another trawler and brought back to the shore, Golam Mostafa Chowdhury, president of the Barguna Trawler Owners Association, said.

"However, the Trawler Owners Association has been unable to establish contact with 15 trawlers in the deep sea. As a result, 200 fishermen on those trawlers are still missing," he added.
