A training aircraft crashed in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, killing an instructor and a trainee pilot who were the only two people on board. The Tecnam P2006T twin-engine aircraft, operated by Garg Aviation, took off from the training centre at around 11:30 am on Thursday. The crash occurred around 11:50 am near Nathapurwa village and the Ganga Barrage, approximately five nautical miles from Kanpur Civil Airport. Visuals from the crash site showed the aircraft completely wrecked in a grassy, wooded area. 

A massive fire broke out on the night of May 4 in a five-storey building in Kanpur’s Chamanganj area, claiming the lives of a couple and their three young daughters. The blaze, suspected to be caused by a short circuit, erupted between 8:30 and 8:45 PM and continued until the early hours of May 5. The building housed shoe manufacturing units on the lower floors. Firefighters battled the flames for hours, and emergency teams evacuated nearby residents for safety. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire.
