Left abandoned for years, the fate of MV New Golam Rahman was to wither away with time. As it was not under the supervision of any authority, miscreants cut and stole a large part of the ship. On 21 June, 2020, one side of the ship, carrying 900 tonnes of pulses, bursted open in the midst of strong waves in the sea. Later the ship was quickly diverted to the Patenga sea beach area. At the objection from the Department of Environment the ship owner could not cut the ship and eventually chose to abandon the ship, raising concerns of environmentalists. The photo was taken on Friday from Patenga in the port city. Photo: Mohammad Minhaj Uddin
