Mirpur-10 metro station reopens after 87 days

The Mirpur-10 metro rail station reopened on Tuesday (October 15) 87 days after it was damaged during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

Road Transport and Bridges Adviser M Fouzul Kabir Khan said, “The Mirpur-10 metro rail station has been repaired at a cost of Tk 1.25 crore. However, since we have brought many parts from other stations and added them here, the total cost of our two stations including the import of those parts will be Tk 18.85 crore.”

Though the metro rail operations resumed on August 25, but the two stations remained closed.

On July 19, miscreants went on a rampage at Mirpur-10 and Kazipara metro stations amid the student movement for quota reform in the public service jobs, which later turned into a student-people uprising that toppled the Sheikh Hasina-led government.
