Metro rail resumes services in city

Staff Reporter:

Dhaka Metro Rail resumed its services on Sunday morning after a suspension of over a month due to damage caused during the recent student-led mass movement.
Nasir uddin, director (operations) of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited, confirmed the matter to saying that the operations resumed around 7:10am from Dhaka’s Uttara Station.
He informed that the metro rail will operate from now on following the previous schedule.
However, the Mirpur-10 and Kazipara stations will remain closed due to “unavoidable reasons.”
Metro rail services were halted on July 18 following incidents of arson and vandalism amid the student movement. After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government on August 5, the interim government instructed the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) to resume operations by August 17, excluding the damaged stations.
However, the resumption was delayed due to an “unavoidable situation,” later identified as a strike by metro rail workers that began on August 6. The workers returned to their duties on August 20, paving the way for the restoration of services.
On the same day, Ehsanul Haq, Senior Secretary of the Road Transport and Highways Department, vis-ited the National Press Club metro rail station and directed officials to take the necessary steps to restart metro services from August 25.
