Here's the tweet by PIB:

On June 25, the President embarked on a train journey to visit his birthplace in Uttar Pradesh, where he interacted with his old acquaintances from school days and the early days of his social service.  It would be after a gap of 15 years that an incumbent president is travelling by train. The President boarded a special presidential train from Safdarjung railway station to Kanpur. On June 26, a police sub-inspector and three head constables were suspended on Saturday in connection with the death of an ailing woman who got held up at a traffic stop here during President Ram Nath Kovind’s visit.
