“Since horizontal expansion is not feasible, a deck-level grid is created under MUTP-3A as a vertical solution to enhance passenger convenience. By interconnecting these deck-level spaces with foot overbridges (FOBs) and providing escalators & elevators, we are ensuring smoother passenger movement, reducing platform congestion, and improving overall accessibility,” a MRVC official said, as per the Mid-day report.
