Dhaka Metro Rail goes on trial run
Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd today put a train of six metro rail coaches on a trial run on Diya Bari-Mirpur route.
MAN Siddique, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd, told UNB that they put six coaches on a trial run in the morning to check the track from Uttara to Agargaon.
He said the company will put the same set of coaches again on the track on August 29 for reassessing their performances.
Bangladesh's long wait for its first-ever metro rail is going to be over by December 2022 as work on the project has gained momentum despite disruptions by the coronavirus pandemic.
Four sets of trains -- each comprising six air-conditioned coaches -- have already reached Bangladesh from Japan and five more sets are scheduled to arrive by September next.
