Metro Rail service was suspended for 27 minutes on Monday due to technical glitches, causing inconvenience to the commuters.
"A metro train got stuck due to a mechanical fault. Since it is an automatic system, the other trains behind this train also got stuck in their respective places," said A K M Khairul Alam, Director (Administration) of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL).
He said the metro train movement was stopped from 3:40 pm to 4:07 pm. Later, metro train movement resumed its service at 4:08 pm.

At that time, the station's microphone announced that the authorities had expressed their sincere apologies for the temporary inconvenience created for the commuters, they said. "BSS
