The metro rail operations will not begin on Saturday as planned because officials were unable to finish the necessary technical tests.

Dhaka Mass Transit Company Ltd (DMTCL) issued a press release on Thursday (15 August) stating that no new date was mentioned for resuming operations.

The two stations in Mirpur-10 intersection and Kazipara were vandalized during the recent Anti-Discrimination Student Movement that toppled Sheikh Hasina's regime.
