Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) announced late Thursday that metro rail services in Dhaka will continue as scheduled, easing fears of a complete shutdown. The assurance came after regular officers and employees of DMTCL had declared an indefinite work stoppage starting Friday, raising concerns about major disruptions to passenger transport across the capital. In a verified Facebook post, DMTCL informed passengers that trains would operate according to the regular timetable and that all services would remain uninterrupted. The company’s statement followed a Wednesday notice from its staff union announcing a full-scale strike, reportedly over unresolved internal issues. The reversal of the strike decision has brought relief to thousands of daily commuters who rely on the metro for timely travel. The development highlights ongoing labor-management tensions within DMTCL, though details of the dispute remain unclear. Authorities are expected to continue discussions with employees to prevent future disruptions to Dhaka’s growing metro network.
