After nearly a full-day suspension, metro rail services between Uttara and Motijheel resumed at 11:00 am on Monday, said Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL).

In a morning statement, DMTCL said trains are now operating normally between Uttara North and Motijheel stations.

The services were suspended following a tragic incident on Sunday afternoon when a bearing pad fell from pillar number 433 near Gate A of Farmgate Metro Station, killing a pedestrian, Abul Kalam Azad, 35, on the spot.

Metro operations were immediately halted after the accident.

Services between Uttara and Agargaon resumed around 3pm, while trains from Motijheel to Shahbagh restarted nearly seven hours later.

However, Farmgate Station remained closed, disrupting full-route operations for almost an entire day.

Sources at DMTCL said maintenance teams promptly replaced the fallen bearing pad at Farmgate Station. Two rounds of test runs were carried out between Shahbagh and Farmgate before restoring full service.

As no further safety issues were detected, DMTCL said metro services are now running smoothly across the entire route.
