New Shatabdi triggers chaos at city railway station
 Adding a new Shatabdi to the fleet of trains has aggravated the problems of passengers at the Chandigarh railway station. It has not only worsened the parking problem, but has also affected the arrival timings of other trains. During a visit to the railway station on Monday, it was found that as there is short gap between the arrival of morning Kalka
Shatabdi, which is 11.05 am, and departure of the new Shatabdi, which is 11.40 am, the pick and drop vehicles have a tough time looking for parking space. With the passengers being dropped at the station to board the train and those arriving being picked up around the same time, chaos at the station and parking lots has increased manifold.
