The death toll from the Bangladesh boat tragedy climbed to 61 on Tuesday while 19 others remain missing.
Rescue workers recovered 11 more bodies on Tuesday and 26 were found earlier on Monday after the boat, carrying religious pilgrims, capsized in northern Bangladesh.
The small boat packed mostly with women and children on their way to a popular temple flipped over on Sunday in a river.
The incident near the northern town of Boda was the latest in a string of similar tragedies blamed on poor maintenance and overcrowding in the country.
Last December, around 40 people perished when a packed three-story ferry caught fire in southern Bangladesh.
