Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the Chunniganj underground station of Kanpur Metro on Sunday to assess the progress of passenger service expansion from Moti Jheel to Kanpur Central under Corridor-1 (IIT Kanpur to Naubasta).

During his visit, he explored a photo gallery set up on the station’s concourse, showcasing construction advancements, and inspected a Kanpur Metro train stationed on the platform. Managing Director of Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Limited (UPMRC), Sushil Kumar, briefed the CM on the station’s features and the overall progress of the metro system.

CM Yogi arrived at Chunniganj station around 11 AM, reviewing ongoing construction work. The dedicated photo gallery curated for his visit displayed updates on both metro corridors—Corridor-1 (IIT Kanpur to Naubasta) and Corridor-2 (CSM University to Barra-8).

The UPMRC MD guided him through exhibits highlighting key initiatives such as worker accommodations, training programs, health camps, water sprinkling near construction sites, and traffic management measures.

A special video presentation detailed the planning and implementation of multimodal connectivity between Kanpur Central Metro Station and the railway station.

The gallery also showcased before-and-after images of five newly developed underground stations—Chunniganj, Naveen Market, Bada Chauraha, Nayaganj, and Kanpur Central—set to open with the upcoming passenger service expansion. Additionally, displays highlighted state-of-the-art tunnel construction technology and green belt development along the metro corridor.
