The suspension comes due to a system upgradation of the DMTCL.
"We are upgrading our system. For this reason, MRT pass issuance and renewal will be closed for one week. After 7 November, activities will resume as usual," Nasmul Islam Bhuiyan, in-charge of DMTCL public relations, told The Buisness Standard regarding the suspension.
