Metro rail services have resumed normal operations across the entire Uttara–Motijheel route on Thursday morning, following a brief suspension the previous night due to a mechanical fault on the Agargaon–Shahbagh section.
According to officials, minor shaking was detected near Farmgate on Wednesday night — the same area where a bearing pad had fallen earlier this week, causing a fatal accident.
As a precaution, train movement between Agargaon and Shahbagh was suspended around 9:10pm. Services resumed shortly after 9:20pm once the issue was fixed, allowing trains to operate toward Uttara.
Ahsanullah Sharifi, deputy director (Public Relations) of MRT Line-6, confirmed the information.
Earlier, on October 26, a pedestrian named Abul Kalam was killed after a bearing pad detached and fell from the elevated track near the western side of Farmgate station.
On Sunday, rail operations were disrupted after a tragic incident in which a bearing pad fell from pillar number 433 near Gate A of Farmgate metro station, killing a pedestrian, Abul Kalam Azad, 35, on the spot.
