Ministry published two images of the reconstruction model
Ministry published two images of the reconstruction model. wherein two futuristic-looking domed structures were displayed. The buildings make extensive use of glass, and several flyovers have been suggested for simple access from the station. A foot overbridge that leads pedestrians to the platform can be seen in one image.
Additionally suggested in this project plan is adequate greenery. Many commenters emphasised the difficulties in putting the plan into practise because it would need a sizable area. While many claimed that structures with glass on the outside would not be at all suitable for Delhi’s oppressive heat.
