Its been a long-standing demand of the people of Kanpur (Rural) that the express should stop at Jhinjhak railway station as well, Jaiswal said.

"With Agra Intercity Express halting here, places like Kanpur and nearby will be benefited with the regular supply of consumables and small traders will also be assisted," he said.
