Chandigarh Railway Station Redevelopment Causes Temporary Traffic and Platform Changes
Chandigarh railway station is undergoing redevelopment with ongoing construction on platforms 2, 3, 4, and 5 by the Rail Land Development Authority. To facilitate this, the Railways will impose 12 four-hour traffic and overhead equipment blocks between August 8 and September 6, causing temporary platform changes and train schedule adjustments. Concurrently, local authorities are surveying options to ease traffic congestion near the station, including shifting the bus stop and creating separate U-turns for heavy vehicles, while traffic regulations continue to be enforced.
