Metro rail services disrupted due to technical glitch

Published : Saturday, 25 January, 2025 at 3:49 PM


Metro Rail services on the Pallabi-Motijheel route temporarily disrupted, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded for nearly an hour on Saturday.

The incident caused significant delays and overcrowding at stations before partial service resumed.

According to the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) sources, the problem began after 1PM when the last train departing from Uttara Centre station towards Motijheel encountered difficulties.

Passengers said that the train halted mid-track just before reaching Uttara South station and remained stationary for approximately 15 minutes. It was eventually brought back to Uttara Centre station, where passengers were asked to disembark.

The metro authorities then worked to resolve the issue, operating the train without passengers.

Partial service between Motijheel and Pallabi resumed after an hour. But trains travelling from Uttara to Motijheel are yet to return to their regular schedule.
