About Uttara North
Uttara North (also known as Diabari) is the northern terminus of MRT Line 6 and the very first station of the Dhaka Metro Rail to open to the public, on 28 December 2022. It is located in Uttara Sector 17, immediately adjacent to Diabari Depot — the maintenance and stabling yard for the entire metro fleet.
The station serves the rapidly-developing northern fringe of Dhaka: Uttara Sectors 16, 17 and 18, Pallabi extension, Beraid and the gateway to Tongi and the Dhaka–Mymensingh highway corridor. Several upmarket residential apartment complexes and the Uttara Lake Park are within easy walking distance.
Uttara North is an elevated dual-island terminus with three platform tracks and provision for future extension northward. A BRTC shuttle bus service connects the station with neighbouring Sectors that are not within easy walking distance.
