The metro rail will resume operation from Saturday (August 17), except at the two stations that were vandalised during Quota Reform Movement last month.
The advisory council of the interim government took the decision on Sunday.
The metro rail will start running from Saturday, August 17. The rail, however, will not stop at the damaged stations Kazipara and Mirpur-10 till repair is completed, meeting sources said.
On July 19 last, the Mirpur-10 and Kazipara metro stations were vandalised and everything - from vending machines to ticket counters were badly damaged.
Earlier, about the two stations -- Kazipara and Mirpur-10 – which were vandalized, MAN Siddique, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), said that the committee formed to assess the damages and address technical issues has yet to submit its report.
The authorities will proceed based on the findings of the committee to resume operation of those two stations.
