On Thursday (August 1), the chairman of the committee, Rezwan Ahmed Tawfiq, member of the committee. Mujibul Haque and Abdullah-al-Qaiser visited all these establishments.
At that time, the president of the committee Rezwan Ahmed Taufiq said that the government has taken development projects like Metrorail for the welfare of the people. But a group attacked Metrorail, Setu Bhavan and BRTA offices in a planned manner to cause misery to citizens. The committee will discuss with the ministry how to quickly reopen the metro rail after assessing the damage caused by the destruction.
