The Mirpur-10 metro station resumed operations on Tuesday, October 15, after being closed for 88 days. Both the authorities and passengers expressed joy at the station’s reopening.

However, passenger turnout at the station remained relatively low in the morning.

A private employee commented that many people are still unaware that the station has reopened, which might explain the low number of passengers. He expects the footfall to increase gradually.

On Monday, October 14, Dhaka Metro Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) Managing Director Abdur Rouf announced at a press conference that trial operations had been successfully completed, enabling the reopening of the Mirpur-10 station.

He explained that the station, along with Kazipara station, was vandalized during the "Complete Shutdown" protest called by the anti-discrimination student movement on July 19. Protesters damaged ticket vending machines and entry punch machines, causing significant disruptions.

According to sources, Kazipara station was repaired and reopened on September 20. The managing director noted that the Mirpur-10 station was also prioritized for repairs due to passenger demand.

Notably, following the student-led mass uprising, metro services were suspended for 37 days. Operations resumed on August 25.
