Train operations on the Dhaka metro rail experienced a brief disruption after a cable fell onto its power line. The issue prompted authorities to suspend service on the Motijheel-Uttara route around 12:10 pm on Tuesday, reports bdnews24.com. MAN Siddique, managing director of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), which operates the metro rail, said, "An external wire, likely a cable TV wire, was thrown onto the metro rail's power line between Karwan Bazar and Shahbagh. He reported that a Motijheel-bound train from Uttara was parked at the station, while the train from Motijheel to Uttara was delayed. The metro rail authorities later apologised for the temporary hold up.
