Due to lockdown, some of the migrant workers, pilgrims, tourists, students and other persons are stranded at Chandigarh

Some of these persons have applied through helpline/website of the Chandigarh Administration for going to their places and their journey is being arranged through Special Trains.

For the smooth movement of these persons, the Chandigarh Administration has made elaborate arrangements to ensure a comfortable and safe journey. Two Holding Centres have been set up at ISBT-43. At Holding Centres, the persons are medically examined and they are required to carry the medical certificate throughout the journey. At Holding Centre, they were provided packed lunch packet and at Railway Station they were provided packed dinner with a one-litre water bottle before boarding in assigned coaches.

All the persons are hereby informed that movement by Special Trains has been arranged for those persons who have been stranded in Chandigarh. A list is prepared from a registration made either through Helpline or website of the Chandigarh Administration. Then telephone calls are made to each of them to reach ISBT-43 for medical screening and thereafter journey through Special Train.
