Passengers planning to travel to or from Chandigarh during September and अक्टूबर must take note of a major traffic disruption. To accelerate infrastructure development and engineering works at the Chandigarh Railway Station, Northern Railway has announced a massive 35-day traffic block starting from September 10, 2026, and lasting until October 15, 2026. This extensive block will significantly impact regular rail movement across the division.
