Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cancelled his scheduled visit to Kanpur on 24th April following the Pahalgam terror attack, which took 26 lives, including one person from Kanpur.

The PM was expected to inaugurate Kanpur Metro Phase 2 and lay the foundation stone for projects worth over Rs 20,000 crore. As a mark of respect, officials postponed the event and deferred any celebratory public engagements.

Phase 2 of the Kanpur Metro includes a 7-km underground corridor between Chunniganj and Kanpur Central, adding five new stations: Naveen Market, Chunniganj, Bada Chauraha, Nayaganj, and Kanpur Central. The extension aims to serve over one lakh daily commuters, cutting travel time between IIT Kanpur and Kanpur Central to 15–20 minutes.

Completed ahead of schedule in just over three years, the Rs 2,000 crore project is expected to ease congestion and improve public transport access for office workers, students, legal professionals, and railway passengers.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath recently reviewed the metro project, praising its rapid construction. Residents have also welcomed the development, calling it a major relief for daily travel.

PM Modi launched Phase 1 of the Kanpur Metro on 28th December 2021, which runs 9 km from IIT Kanpur to Moti Jheel.
