Metrorail Metrorail running jam-packed during strike
Own correspondent, Dhaka, 7 November 2023: BNP and like-minded parties have carried out a second round of blockade program in continuation of one round of movement to bring down the government. However, working people have suffered. They have to suffer on the way to and from the office. Metrorail is giving some relief to common people. Metrorail has been completed after 10 long months. Earlier it was running from Uttara to Agargaon, but from Sunday it is going to Motijheel, a commercial area or office park.
On Monday (November 6) Metro Rail started leaving Uttara from 7:30 am. Most of the metro trains departing from Uttara were packed with passengers.
On the face of it, there was no seating in the metro rail from Pallavi station. Passengers are standing in piles. More passengers boarded from Mirpur 11 and 10 stations. At this time, arguments can be observed between the passengers about standing in the compartment. More passengers boarded from Kazipara and Sheorapara stations. After that there is no place for holding moles in metro rail. Meanwhile, the male passengers said to the female passengers, there is a separate compartment for you. In response, they said, it is not possible to go to that compartment in this crowd. In addition, there is no place to hold moles in that compartment. However, if Farmgate goes, the number of passengers will decrease a little.
An employee of a private company said that there is such a crowd in the metro of all countries. Because it is modern public transport. This crowd is normal during office hours. I saw in India, I also saw in the video that in Japan, the police force the passengers to stand. Passengers enter by squeezing with hands. Now this crowd is seen in the metro of our country.
Al-Amin took the metro from Mirpur number 10 with his father. Go to National Institute of Ophthalmology and Hospital. He said, father's eye problem. I thought I would take it easy with him. Now see, many passengers. It's nice to be able to come quickly.
