Can you promote in r/kanpur?
Kanpur is the largest city in Uttar Pradesh. Currently known as "Leather City of the World" and is predominantly known as the "Manchester of the East". Nestled on the banks of the Ganges River, Kanpur stands as the major Financial and Industrial Centre of North India and also the ninth-largest urban economy in India. Today it is famous for its colonial architecture, gardens, parks and fine quality leather products which are exported mainly to the West. It is the 12th most populous city in India.
The short answer
Do not promote products or solicit customers publicly; if you need to post about a fundraiser or AMA, get moderator approval first and otherwise participate as a non-promotional local community member answering questions.
What works here
- civil, Kanpur-specific discussion
- charity/fundraiser posts with moderator approval

What gets posts removed
