The Railway Board has issued an order to all zonal railways instructing them to set up 3D selfie booths, also known as selfie points featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at as many railway stations as possible.
Visitors to these booths will be able to take selfies and photos with cutout images of PM Modi.
The theme of these selfie booths is “New India,” highlighting achievements in areas such as space, power, Digital India, and youth skills, among others. These selfie booths will be placed in the lobbies and platform areas of railway stations.
The Railway Board has provided design specifications for these selfie booths, and preparations have already begun in all the zonal railways, the Hindustan Times has reported.
As per the report, a directive dated September 27, issued by the Director (Information and Publicity) of the Railway Board, Shivaji Maruti Sutar, instructs all 19 zonal railways’ General Managers to undertake this work at the maximum number of stations and treat it as a matter of utmost urgency.
The order states that these selfie booths should be constructed with permanent, durable 3D fiber sculptures, acrylic boards, glass, and built-in lighting. The booths will consist of 3D sculptures made from materials like fiber, clay, or Plaster of Paris (PoP), reinforced with NIS pipes and steel wires. The background structure of these platforms will also be crafted with fiber and clay and painted with weather-proof paint.
