The permanent officials and employees of Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited, DMTCL, have threatened to refrain from operating Metrorail services from Friday, February 21, if a comprehensive service rule is not made within the next three days.
They made the threat in a press release on Monday, February 18.
On September 12 last year, the adviser to the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges asked the authorities concerned to make a comprehensive job rule for DMTCL staff amid demand but the direction has not been implemented till today despite five months passed, according to the press release.
Due to lack of a comprehensive service rule, more than 200 foreign and domestic trained officers and employees of DMTCL left their jobs. As a result, the Metrorail operation and maintenance may be under threat, the release said.
