Dhaka Metro Rail will resume operations on Sunday (August 25) after a suspension of over a month due to damage caused during student protests.
According to an official order signed by Tarafder Mahmudur Rahman, Deputy Director of Public Relations for the MRT Line-6 project, the metro rail will operate according to its previous schedule.
However, the Mirpur-10 and Kazipara stations will remain closed due to “unavoidable reasons.”
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, visited the National Press Club metro rail station and directed officials to take the necessary steps to restart metro services from August 25.
