A team of RPF besides engineering and station administration also reached the spot. The engineering department of the railways is engaged in the work of making automatic stairs to reach the foot over-bridge from the Cantt side. Right next to it is the building of the old dilapidated base kitchen of the Railway.
These days the demolition of the base kitchen is underway. "When its roof was demolished on Tuesday, three stones of the shape of 'Shivling' were also recovered," said Railway sources. Along with this, items used in the kitchen, including old plates, cups and other utensils were also found there.
During preliminary findings, it came to the fore that the recovered stones were spice grinding stones, said RPF Inspector BP Singh. He added that along with three grinding stones in the shape of Shivling, other kitchen items have also been found.
Deputy chief traffic manager of Kanpur Central Railway Station, Ashutosh Singh, said. "A team of the railway engineering department has been sent to the spot for investigation. A letter will also be written to the Archaeological department and the investigation will be done by experts," Singh added.
