Incidentally, miscreants set fire to the police box below the metro line in the Mirpur-10 roundabout area on July 18 due to the violence surrounding the students' movement. The train ran through the fire. Later, in the interest of public safety, the metro rail service was stopped after 5:30 pm that day.
