The Japanese ambassador said they will first assess the damages of the metro rail stations and then decide how they can help Bangladesh reopen the stations.
On 18 July, the metro rail services closed as part of the complete shutdown called by the quota reform protestors. At that time, DMTCL took this decision after unidentified persons set fire to the police box under the Mirpur-10 metro station.
According to media reports, on the next day (19 July), Mirpur-10 and Kazipara stations were attacked.
