Dhaka Metro Resumes Amidst Political Turmoil

The Dhaka Metro resumed services after a month-long suspension due to anti-government protests, which heavily vandalized two stations. Commuters, especially students and office-goers, expressed relief with the return of metro services. Enhanced security measures are planned to protect the infrastructure from future disruptions.

The Dhaka Metro resumed services on Sunday, over a month after being shut down amid unprecedented anti-government protests that saw two of its stations suffer severe vandalism.

However, the Mirpur-10 and Kazipara stations will remain closed, according to an official notification. Commuters, mainly students and office-goers, heaved a sigh of relief as they no longer need to navigate through Dhaka’s notorious traffic jams daily.

Official notifications confirm that services resumed around 7 am. The metro shutdown combined with congested streets due to protests had nearly paralyzed the public transport system in the capital.
