Metro rail to run on Fridays from September 20

Dhaka metro rail will run on Fridays from this week as per the demand of the city commuters.   

"Efforts are underway to run metro rail on weekly holidays from this Friday (September 20) following the decision of the ministry," Mohammad Abdur Rouf, Managing Director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), told state news agency BSS on Tuesday.

He said the authority also expects that the metro trains will stop at Kazipara station from Friday (September 20) as it is being ready for operational activities. 

During the 'Complete Shutdown' programme of the antidiscrimination students movement, miscreants vandalized Mirpur-10 and Kazipara stations in the evening of July 19.

Abdur Rauf said, "Our adviser instructed to run the metro rail on Fridays. Another challenge was the commissioning of Kazipara and Mirpur-10 stations. We have worked on Kazipara station quickly. The station will be ready by September 18."
