Prime Narendra Modi has cancelled the programme scheduled in Kanpur on April 24 in the wake of Pahalgam terror attack where 26 people were gunned down. The PMO said in a statement that in light of the recent terror attack that claimed a number of lives, including that of Shubham- a courageous young son of Kanpur, and keeping in mind the somber mood and sentiments of the people, the event has
been cancelled. As a mark of respect, it was considered appropriate to defer any celebratory or formal public engagement in Kanpur during this period of grief.
The Prime Minister was scheduled to visit Kanpur today to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for development projects worth over 20,000 crore rupees.
