Metro service on Agargaon-Motijheel route remained suspended

Metro rail services on Agargaon-Motijheel route remained suspended since 9:40 am today due to technical and signaling glitches.

A notice has been found hanging at Shewrapa station saying Metro Rail is operating from Uttara to Agargaon.

Talking to BSS, a passenger said he came here to go to Motijheel but the metro was not available due to some problems.

A huge gathering was also seen at Agargaon station as they were waiting to go to Motijheel at that time.

Many passengers, however, got off the train. Some were seen taking other vehicles and some starting on foot for destinations.

A metro station official said the train movement from Uttara North to Agargaon is normal.

Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) authorities said on a Facebook post that workers were making announcement at the Agargaon station, noting the metro rail will run up to Agargaon and will not head to Motijheel due to technical faults.

The authorities also detected some problems on the tracks of metro rail between Bijoysarani and Farmgate.

“Works are on to fix the problem and we hope it will be fixed by this afternoon”, an official said. (BSS)
