Speaker Requests Feasibility Study for Porch at Parliament's Makar Dwar Entrance
Three years after the inauguration of the new Parliament building, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has requested the Central Public Works Department to assess the feasibility of adding a porch over Makar Dwar, the main entrance used by most MPs. Currently uncovered, this entrance exposes MPs, officials, and visitors to rain and sun, especially during the Monsoon Session. While three other entrances have porches, Makar Dwar and two others do not. The proposal aims to improve comfort and protection at this frequently used entrance.
