DHAKA -- Bangladesh's first-ever metro rail line is set to be inaugurated on Wednesday in densely populated Dhaka, promising at least a degree of relief from some of the world's worst traffic congestion.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is to cut the ribbon and become the Japan-backed metro's first passenger, an official with the prime minister's office told Nikkei Asia. A day later, it will open to the public.
