The state government has requested Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation, the implementing agency of the East West Metro project, to come up with a design for rebuilding the BBD Bag bus stand in keeping with the zone’s heritage status.
“We have asked the KMRC to come up with a design that is in sync with the heritage status of the zone where Mahakaran (Writers Building) is located,” Firhad Hakim, state transport minister, said on Wednesday following a meeting with the KMRC officials.
“We are not looking at a new multi-storey building. But the design of the bus stand should be such that it blends in with the heritage structures in the region.”
