Meanwhile, in view of the closure of the Delhi-Ambala- Chandigarh main line for the past few days, railways will run a special train from Chandigarh to Delhi on Monday evening "to clear the rush of stranded passengers at Chandigarh, Ambala and nearby cities".

The train will depart at 4 pm and will take a longer route. It will go from Chandigarh to Anand Vihar in national capital via Saharanpur, Meerut and Ghaziabad, the spokesman said.
