Forty eight bodies have been found after a ferry capsized in central Myanmar but dozens more people are still missing.
The ferry was carrying more than 250 passengers when it capsized on the Chindwin River on Saturday.
Authorities say 158 people were rescued and 48 bodies have been found through Wednesday. Rescuers are continuing to search for the missing.
The cause of the capsizing was unclear but local police say the boat may have been overcrowded.
A regional member of parliament said police had brought criminal charges against the helmsman alleging negligence.
