<p>A boat packed with passengers has capsized on a river in north-eastern Bangladesh, and rescuers said at least 37 people died and 18 more were reported missing.</p>
<p>The boat carrying about 80 people collided with a sand-laden cargo vessel in the darkness late on Saturday on the River Surma, local government officials Abul Hashem and Matiur Rahman said.</p>
<p>They spoke at the scene of the accident in Sunamganj district, about 110 miles north east of the capital, Dhaka.</p>
<p>Some survivors swam to shore or were rescued by villagers. Rescuers recovered 35 bodies and used torchlights to search for about 20 people reported missing, the two officials said.</p>
<p>All the dead were from the passenger boat. Dhaka&#8217;s Prothom Alo newspaper reported most were women and children.</p>
<p>The boat was travelling from Sunamganj to the neighbouring Kishoreganj district.</p>
<p>Boat accidents, blamed on lax rules and unfit vessels, are common in Bangladesh, a delta nation of more than 230 rivers.</p>
