In the Bay of Bengal, 40 sailors have signed up to swim the 16.1 km sea route known as the Bengali Channel from Teknaf Shahpari Island to St. Martin. All but three have successfully crossed the Bengali Canal.
The swim started at Shahpari Island Jetty Ghat at 9.25am on Monday.
A French citizen, two women and two police officers participated in the 15th Fortune Bangla Channel swimming competition organized by Saraj Adventure and Extreme Bangla.
In this year’s competition, Rabbi Rahman has set a record for crossing the Bengali Channel in the fastest time with a time of 3 hours and 20 minutes. In addition, Saiful Islam Russell, a former member of Dhaka, came in second with a time of 3 hours and 31 minutes and Shuja Mollah was third with a time of 3 hours and 35 minutes. Additionally, two female contestants, Maunata Afrin and Soma Roy, have successfully crossed the Bengali channel.
Sharjah Adventure CEO Lipton Sarkar said the event was organized in accordance with international canal swimming rules. This is our 15th event.
‘I and 43 other contestants have participated in the Bangladesh Channel swimming competition. Of these, 40 have successfully crossed the Bengali canal, ”he said.
Soma Roy, female member of the competition team and BUET student, said: “I have managed to cross the Bangla channel for the first time. Now we have to pursue greater success. ‘
Rabbi Rahman, who quickly recorded crossing the Bengali channel, said: ‘I am dreaming of winning the world. My goal was to cross the Bengali Channel at any cost and taste victory. God has fulfilled my hope. I want to participate in more great adventures in the future. I want to go further. ‘
Note that the Bangla Channel journey started on January 14, 2006. Kazi Hamidul Haque, a famous underwater photographer and diver, was the dreamer. Under his supervision, Fazlul Kabir Sina, Lipton Sarkar and Salman Saeed crossed the ‘Bangla Channel’ for the first time in 2006.
This has been organized every year since then. Little by little it is gaining national and international recognition.
