Approximately 2.5 to 3 acres of land are required for the construction of pillars near the Subhash Nagar T point and Dr. Dixit said that everyone is in favor of the coexistence of the Metro corridor and the water park. For the last two years many deliberations have been carried out with NIT and other agencies, and now it is up to the last to make the final decision.He also said that the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the east-west corridor was prepared long before Maha-Metro began to exist and that other alternatives such as going through the VNIT campus and other options were not feasible. Although the Metro pillars require little space, but according to the rules, the 10 meters of land below each side must be kept clear so that, in case of emergency, the crews can climb from either side and evacuate. The existing road width from point T of Ambazari to Subhash Nagar square is only 24 meters.Multimodal centers in Cotton Market, near Santra Market Two multimodal transport hubs along with subway stations would appear on the east side of the Nagpur train station. In reporting this, Dr. Brijesh Dixit said that an operations center would be near Cotton Market Square and another near the Santra market door of the train station. With it, the existing government bus station of Madhya Pradesh, on the western side of the train station would be integrated with it and also the buses of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) also leave from there.He also said that they also requested partial lands from the Central Railroad and the talks are currently underway. Similarly, he said that stores below the station road would fly over and also change on the east side of the train station.What he did not say is that when this project materializes, it will pave the way for the demolition of the overpass of the station’s road, which has become an inappropriate name for a fluid traffic movement. In addition, the development would provide a much needed ventilation space for the entrance and exit of the Nagpur train station from the popular western side.
