A Historic Moment: Opening of Metro Rail MRT-6 in Dhaka.



Bangladesh's first electric track urban railway (MRT) began its operation on 28th December, 2022 - bringing a new mass transit system in Dhaka.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurates the metro rail at the playground of sector-15 (C-1 Block) in the capital’s Uttara at 11:00 am by unveiling a plaque. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated a portion of the 20-kilometer (12.427-mile) urban rail project known as Line 6 Uttara to Agargaon from Uttara sector-15 playground.

The line connects Dhaka’s northern area to a centre of government offices and hospitals. It will eventually pass through the city to Motijheel’s financial sector in the south.

After six months, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the nation’s longest river bridge, extending more than six kilometres over the Padma River.

Let's see some glimpse of this historic moment in photos.
