Ship carrying rice out of #pakistan sinks in #Bangladesh

A North Korean ship transporting 13,492 tonnes of rice imported from Pakistan for Bangladesh is sinking at the outer anchorage of Chittagong port late Wednesday night.

The rice could not be saved.

Despite facing a shortage of food of its own, & widespread hunger prevailing amongst the population, owing to poor management post-floods that occurred in pakistan, it has been sending out its meager food stock, earning rich dividends for the feudal and pakistan Army, that control food supply in pakistan.

A huge quantity of fuel oil was also found leaking in the Bay from the ship, polluting the waters and affecting the delicate marine life.
