KANPUR: The train movement on the busy Kanpur-Allahabad and Kanpur-Lucknow routes came to a halt after a snag occurred in the cable box on the outer part of the Kanpur Central railway station on Tuesday. According to the technical staff working at the site, the snag in the cable box occurred as it had caught fire.Someone might have thrown a burning matchstick or a cigarette near the cable box. It caught fire and the cables got burnt. This brought the train movement to halt on up and down tracks between Kanpur and Lucknow and down track on the Allahabad route.The technical staff rushed to repair the fault. By the time, the snag was repaired, a number of trains could not reach Kanpur Central railway station. This directly affected the passengers who were waiting at the platforms. |
