Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today highlighted the four milestones in the country’s development that the inauguration of metro rail has brought about.

Bangladesh enters a new era in communication today with the launch of its first metro rail, promising fast, reliable, and safe commute in a traffic-choked Dhaka.

The Uttara-Agargaon section of the country’s first metro rail will be inaugurated tomorrow.

The limited launch of the metro tomorrow is unlikely to make any real dent in Dhaka's traffic problem

One important but oft-ignored thing is that design and implementation mistakes delay the revenue-generation phase of megaprojects.

How is it that a government megaproject does not have enough safety measures in place so as not to cause the death of a passer-by?

The trial run for the first metro rail of the country is ongoing. Spanning about 20 kilometres, the metro rail will have 16 stations. Among them, Uttara North station is almost completed. What amenities will these stations have for passengers? How do the stations look from the inside?

Once you reach the metro rail’s Uttara North station, you will see seven staircases on its both sides.
