SANGSAD BHABAN, June 10, 2018 (BSS) – Road Transport and
Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today told the Jatiya Sangsad
that Metrorail communication from Uttara third phase to
Agargaon would start operation from 2019.
The minister sounded this optimism while replying to a query
of treasury bench member Momtaz Begum during the question
and answer session in the House with Speaker Dr Shirin
Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair.
Quader, also the ruling Awami League general secretary, said
the authority concerned has decided to introduce metrorail
Agargaon-Motijheel within 2020.
The road transport minister said it was scheduled to finish the
work of Metrorail Project from 2012 to June in 2024.
Subsequently the government revised the target to complete
the work by 2019.
“City dwellers would be able to travel by the Metrorail within
the stipulated timeframe,” the minister hoped.
