In a recent request, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has called for the construction of a new porch to shield MPs and staff from rain at Makar Dwar. CPWD officials will investigate whether this covered entryway can be constructed, especially as the expenses for the new Parliament House project have surged. The proposed porch will offer a protective haven during vehicle wait times.
