How many stations have been closed?
Recently, two stations in Kanpur—Kalyanpur and Rawatpur—were closed. The closure process is ongoing. In 2020-21, seven stations in Andhra Pradesh were closed due to unprofitability and low popularity. In Tamil Nadu, Vangal station on the Salem-Karur line was closed earlier this year. Essentially, stations with no passenger traffic are closed, with no further operations as per railway rules.
