The MRT-6 extension project in Dhaka will set up five metro rail stations from Uttara North to Tongi Railway Station, says MAN Siddique, managing director of the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited. Connecting the Tongi Rail Station and the road junction will increase the benefit to local residents, he said. Siddique claimed the metro rail route had reduced traffic congestion. Metro rail authorities have also started the process of extending the route from Uttara North to Tongi Railway Station. Metro rail trains leave at eight-minute intervals during peak hours.
