Metro rail authorities will conduct a test run of the trains
on the Agargoan-Motijheel section tomorrow, Friday (July 7).
Awami League General Secretary, Road Transport and
Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader will inaugurate the test run of the trains on
the Agargoan-Motijheel section.
Earlier, the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL)
opened the Uttara-Agargaon section of the country’s first metro-rail line,
formally known as MRT Line-6, on December 29 last year.
Since then, the demand for the Agargaon-Motijheel section has
increased as the major catchment area runs from Mirpur to Motijheel.
At that time, it was announced that the Agargaon-Motijheel
section would open in December, while the Motijheel-Kamalapur one would open in
June 2025.
The government is implementing the fast-track project to
build the 21.26km elevated metro line, which will have 17 stations, from Uttara
to Kamalapur at a cost of Tk 33, 472 crore.
