A government investigation committee has concluded that two bearing pads which fell from a metro rail pillar in Dhaka’s Farmgate area were defective. The findings were disclosed on Thursday at a briefing held at the Secretariat’s Road Transport and Highways Division conference room, attended by adviser Muhammad Faozul Kabir Khan from the power, energy, transport, and rail ministries. The committee stated that out of ten technical parameters, two did not meet expected standards, though this did not mean all components were faulty. No evidence of sabotage was found.
The incidents occurred on September 18 and October 26, 2024. The first caused an 11-hour suspension of metro service but no casualties. The second, involving an 80-kilogram pad, resulted in the death of a young man and led to another shutdown. Following the fatal accident, the government formed the investigation committee to determine the cause.
The committee’s findings suggest that technical flaws, not deliberate actions, were responsible for the accidents, though further evaluation of all components may be necessary.
