Kanpur Central, one of the major railway stations in Uttar Pradesh, is now facing a complete closure day. Railway officials have informed that the station will be completely closed on the 15th of next month as part of the ongoing repair and renovation work by the government. On this day, no trains will enter or depart from ADC. Passengers are advised to reschedule their travel plans for this day. The closure of Kanpur Central station will affect around 50 trains daily, with over 25,000 passengers using the station every day.
