The capital’s metro rail has once again been hit by mismanagement. Metro rail services were suddenly halted during the rush hour on Saturday night after a drone fell on the line between Uttara Center and Uttara South stations. Train services were halted for about 9 minutes from 8:47 pm to 8:56 pm.

Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) Public Relations Officer Ahsanullah Sharifi confirmed the matter in a message sent to the media.

He said, “As a safety precaution, traffic was temporarily suspended after the drone fell on the line. Traffic was quickly evacuated and normalized.”

In a statement, DMTCL said it regrets the inconvenience caused to passengers in such incidents. Extra precautions will be taken to avoid such situations in the future.

Even though the movement was stopped for a short time, the suffering of passengers could not be avoided. Passengers were stranded and waiting at the two stations. However, there were no major delays or congestion after the train movement resumed.
