Why is this emergency repair necessary
The railway track between Ghaggar and Chandigarh has deteriorated, making it risky for train operations. Northern Railway and the Senior Section Engineer (P-Way) Chandigarh have prioritized this maintenance to prevent accidents. The work is essential for the safe movement of trains and the general public.
How will it impact local traffic and commuters
People living in Dhakoli, Peer Muchhalla, Ghazipur, and Baltana will face significant delays. Since this is a major route to Chandigarh and Panchkula, traffic pressure will increase on alternative roads. The administration has coordinated with Zirakpur and Chandigarh Police to manage diversions.
