Mirpur-10, Kazipara metro stations: Mindless destruction leaves them in ruins

The Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) announced on their verified Facebook page that, as before, the train service will not operate on Fridays.

The metro rail will follow its previous schedule.

Metro rail services have been suspended since July 18 after the Mirpur-10 and Kazipara stations were vandalised during the quota protests.

After fall of the Hasina-led government on August 5, the interim government instructed DMTCL to resume services by August 17, except at the vandalised stations.

However, DMTCL announced delays due to an "unavoidable situation," later revealed to be a work abstention by around 700 employees from grades 10 to 20, who began striking on August 6, demanding a pay hike to match their higher-grade colleagues.
