How safe is Kanpur for solo female travelers?

How safe is Kanpur for women?

There are time when I have to go and come back on my own in day and evenings as well, and I’d say the experience was not too scary. The people are usually pretty kind, generous and helpful. I’d say it’s not that bad of an experience living here.
