Metro Rail from Manikganj to Dhaka

Monday, 20 May 2024



To reduce the excessive pressure on the capital city, we need a long-distance, hassle-free, and uninterrupted communication system. In this regard, we should take a long-term and daunting initiative. We know thousands of people travel to Dhaka city from different parts of the country. This is high time to address this issue. Commonly, after post-graduation, most people either go abroad or stay in Dhaka city seeking jobs or other related activities. We know Manikganj is an adjacent district to the capital city. A significant number of Manikganj's people reside in the capital city for jobs and business. If we ensure smooth and speedy commuting, those people will not require to reside in this congested area. To facilitate this, Metro rail is the only option. If the authorities introduce Metro rail from Manikganj town to Gabtali, Dhaka, many would not need to stay in Dhaka, which will alleviate pressure on Dhaka to a large extent. People naturally prefer to live in less congested areas with fresh air. So, please consider this issue and take the necessary steps for the benefit of the masses.
