Metro rail services remained suspended for about 15 minutes on Wednesday (3 December) after a piece of cloth fell on an overhead electric cable between Uttara North and Uttara South stations.
The train movement was stopped at 12:22pm to remove the cloth from the overhead catenary cable and the services resumed at 12:37pm after the obstruction was cleared, said Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) in a post on its official Facebook page.
DMTCL expressed regret for the temporary inconvenience caused to passengers.
