‘Survey for Metro Rail extension from Uttara to Tongi underway’

A survey is underway for extension of Dhaka Metro Rail from Uttara to Tongi, said Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader.

He said this after inaugurating the Bangabandhu Corner at the DMTCL Building in Uttara’s Diabari on Saturday (January 20).

Quader, also the Awami League general secretary, said the construction work of metro rail’s Motijheel to Kamalapur portion will be completed by June next year.

A decision will be taken after holding discussions on extending service hours of metro rail on different days including Biswa Ijtema and Book Fair, he said.

Quader said, “Maximum facilities will be ensured for the passengers of the metro rail. Six lines of the metro rail will be launched around 2030”.
