Trains were also running late yesterday. Of the 56 trains that had arrival in Chandigarh railway station , 13 arrived late. The trains were Una-Delhi Janshatabdi Express(25 minutes late) and New Delhi-Kalka Shatabdi Express(15 minutes late).

Already Punjab & Haryana High Court has given directions to either increase the number of trains from Chandigarh to Delhi by increasing existing ones’ frequency or introducing new.
