At least 37 people died and more than 150 were missing when a Bangladeshi ferry sank during a storm in a river near the capital Dhaka, police said on Sunday.

The ferry, M.V. Maharaj, with some 200 people was bound for the southern town of Chandpur from Dhaka when it was hit by a sudden tropical storm in tbe Buriganga river late on Saturday.

"So far rescuers have pulled out 37 bodies and efforts are on to salvage the sunken ferry," said an officer at Keraniganj police station on the outskirt of Dhaka.

Scores of people die every year in ferry disasters in Bangladesh. At least 200 people died when two ferries sank in the river Meghna near Chandpur in a sudden storm last year.
