The metro rail service will remain suspended on the day of Eid-ul-Adha, reports UNB.
Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) issued a notice in this regard on Wednesday.
The announcement comes as many city dwellers prepare for the festive holiday, and thousands are expected to leave the capital or head out to visit loved ones.
While the pause may cause a temporary inconvenience for regular commuters, the break allows for observance of one of the country's most sacred religious celebrations by its staff.
Metro rail operations will resume on Sunday (June 8), from 8:00am, with trains running every 30 minutes.
From June 9 onwards, the services will follow the regular government holiday timetable.
