Metro Rail to be extended to Tongi
Fri, 10 May 24
- Despite initially planning to expand up to Ashulia, the Dhaka Metro Rail, a mass rapid transit system in the capital, will now be extended up to Tongi.
Dhaka Metro Rail's managing director MAN Siddique confirmed the matter on Friday.
He said, "Metro Rail was scheduled to be extended to Ashulia in Savar. But, according to a new plan, it is being extended up to Tongi. During the construction of MRT Line 6, it was extended up to a kilometer taking the future demand into account. The feasibility study of the extended line is now going on. Tender will be floated after finalising the design soon."
"If the extened line could be connected, it would take 48 minutes to reach Kamlapur from Tongi, MAN Siddique added.
