Commuters can now take the Metro Rail using Mirpur-10 station, as the government opened it for the public on Wednesday morning, nearly two months after the inauguration of the country’s much-awaited metro rail.
According to the Metro Rail authority, the train can pick up and drop off passengers at Mirpur-10 station from Wednesday.
With this, five out of nine Metro Rail stations have been opened, so far.
The government started the operation of Metro Rail service on December 28 last year on a limited scale, and there was no stoppage between Uttara North and Agargaon stations.
On December 29, the government made the metro rail open to the public.
Later, the government opened Metro Rail’s Pallabi and Uttara Centre stations on January 25 and February 18, respectively.
Four other stations -- Uttara South, Mirpur-11, Kazipara and Shewrapara -- will be opened to the public in phases.
