Delhi to Mumbai and Delhi to Howrah, these are the two major rail sections of the country. The main line of Howrah passes through Varanasi, in which the rail section from Lucknow to Kanpur is connected like a supporting line. Due to the poor condition of this section, trains were not able to run at a speed of more than 80 to 100 km per hour.
Upgradation work was completed
In such a situation, the work of upgrading the stations, tracks, railway bridges, signaling etc. of the rail section was completed by the Northern Railway Lucknow Division. DRM Sachindra Mohan Sharma said that under Mission Raftar, the way has been cleared for running semi-high speed trains between Lucknow and Kanpur.
