The Dhaka University and Shahbagh metro stations will be temporarily closed on April 14 for Pahela Baishakh, according to Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL).

Shahbagh Metro Station will remain closed until 12:00 pm, while Dhaka University Metro Station will stay closed for the entire day.

These closures may cause inconvenience for commuters, as the Dhaka University and Shahbagh areas usually see large crowds during Bangla New Year celebrations. Popular spots like Ramna Park, Suhrawardy Udyan, and the university campus attract many visitors on this day.

DMTCL has apologized for the temporary inconvenience. The decision was made as part of increased security and traffic control measures ahead of the Pahela Baishakh celebrations, when large public gatherings are expected in these areas.
