Kanpur-Anand Vihar Mail: New Stops at Dadri and Khurja
Commuters traveling between Kanpur and the National Capital Region (NCR) are set to receive a major boost in convenience. The Central Government has officially approved new scheduled stoppages for the Kanpur-Anand Vihar Terminal Mail (14153/14154) at both Dadri and Khurja railway stations.
This decision is part of a larger initiative to enhance connectivity within the Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh, providing much-needed relief to daily travelers.
Boosting Connectivity for Noida and Greater Noida
For a long time, passengers from the Noida and Greater Noida regions had to travel to distant stations like Ghaziabad to board this service. With the inclusion of Dadri and Khurja, the journey becomes significantly more accessible for local residents, eliminating the need for separate commutes to reach major rail hubs.
The enhancement is expected to be implemented ahead of the Dussehra festival, ensuring that travelers can benefit from the new schedule during the upcoming festive season.
