Another mechanical problem has disrupted metro rail services in Dhaka. A train travelling from Uttara North to Motijheel remained at Karwan Bazar Station for around 10 minutes before passengers were instructed to get off.

The incident occurred at around 4:45 pm on Tuesday (September 15).

The train also remained stopped for an extended period at the Secretariat Station. Although the air conditioning inside the train was running, the doors were kept open. Heavy crowds of passengers were seen at every station amid the disruption.

According to eyewitnesses, after the train remained stationary at Karwan Bazar Station for several minutes, passengers were asked to disembark. They subsequently left the station, and the train reportedly did not continue towards Motijheel.

The sudden disruption caused considerable inconvenience and frustration among passengers. Many expressed anger over the situation. Some passengers said similar problems had been occurring on the metro rail over the past week, but no one could explain the exact reason behind the repeated disruptions.

The reason why the train stopped operating was not immediately known. Further details will be reported once a statement from the metro rail authorities is available.
