A user wrote, “Unless things get lost in translation and execution, I think they have come up with a decent design. Reminds us of iconic barabarti fort. So quintessentially cuttacki look here. Look forward to see it soon in brick and mortar.”
“One humble request. Please make it user friendly. Easy access to senior citizens & disabled people ! Also most of the people travel with heavy luggage, so if we can implement trolley system like airport. I think that is more important than architecture,” commented another user.
Earlier in January, Vaishnaw had laid the foundation stone for the development of the second entry and circulating area of Cuttack railway station stating that the Ministry is committed to develop the railway station and funds are no constraint for the purpose.
Ashwini Vaishnaw had uploaded the design of Cuttack Railway station on Twitter and had asked for the public opinion on the proposed design. The design has been inspired on the theme of Cuttack Barabati Fort architecture.
The Minister had requested public to give rating on the design and based on the public rating further course of action would be taken. Public were requested to give maximum support to this new way of thinking.
This design is finalised by the Minister after the massive response from the public.
