Metro rail services on Agargaon-Motijheel route remained
suspended since 9:40 am on Wednesday due to technical and signaling glitches.
A notice has been found hanging at Shewrapara 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.
