Lucknow-Kanpur rail section repair work causes train delays and diversions in Unnao

Repair work on the Lucknow-Kanpur rail section in Unnao caused an eight-hour mega block, severely disrupting train services and leading to significant delays and diversions for over a dozen trains. The non-interlocking work at Manak Nagar station, from 9:25 AM to 5:25 PM on Wednesday, resulted in trains being stranded for hours, causing considerable passenger inconvenience and anger, with some trains rerouted via alternative lines. The disruption primarily affected trains traveling from Kanpur towards Lucknow, with services from Lucknow to Kanpur remaining largely unaffected, though overall rail traffic slowed due to the essential track and signal maintenance.
