\n1) Foot Over Bridge \u2013 Seamless connectivity celebrating local architecture

\nDesigned with a local Himalayan aesthetic and architecture, the FOB provides universal access with ramps &
\nhandrails as applicable. The FOB de-risks pedestrian crossings during peak footfall, and strengthens last-mile
\nconnectivity across the state-of-the-art Rashtrapati Niketan project.

\nhorses. It features three integrated zones: (i) Care & Treatment (treatment bay, bathing points, feed room), (ii)
\nStabling & Welfare with a capacity of 8 horses; ventilation, drainage, bedding standards, and (iii) Riding Arena with a
\nvisitor viewing corridor.
\nAnchored in the equestrian tradition of the President\u2019s Bodyguard (PBG), select PBG horses will be stabled here,
\noffering the public a curated, first-of-its-kind window into equine care and training within the Presidential circuit. The
\nfacility meets modern safety and welfare norms and will be open to visitors during 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM on all days
