Closed Kazipara metro station to resume operations tomorrow
The closed Kazipara metro rail station will resume operations from tomorrow (20 September).
Mohammad Abdur Rouf, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) provided this information today (19 September).
“The Kazipara Station will open from tomorrow. A total of Tk20 lakh 50 thousand has been spent to make it operational. However, it’s being opened quickly with the convenience of people in mind. There are still many pieces of equipment needed, which will be fixed gradually, and costs may increase then.”
“Starting tomorrow, the metro rail will also operate on Fridays. However, on Fridays, it will run from 3:30pm to its regular night schedule. The headway (interval between two trains) will be 10 minutes, 8 minutes, and 12 minutes, depending on the time,” he added.
The Kazipara and Mirpur-10 stations of the metro rail were damaged during the student protest.
