Dhaka Metro Rail services resumed from Uttara to Agargaon on Sunday afternoon, October 26, after around two and half an hours' suspension following the death of a pedestrian who was hit by a bearing pad that fell from the metro rail line.
The metro rail operation of this section restarted around 3:00pm, the Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL), which operates the metro rail, said in a notice at about 3:45pm.
Work is underway for the resumption of the metro rail services from Agargaon to Motijheel, the notice said.

After the incident, the metro rail services were suspended.
