RAILWAYS 

There was no relief from parking blues at the local railway station. A lucky year for the city railway station after the local Member of Parliament, Pawan Kumar Bansal, was allocated the portfolio of Union Railway Minister. Work on all the pending projects was speeded up on the directions of the Railway Minister.

Highs

The setting up of the IT-related industry of the Railways in the city.

A combo menu for Shatabdi trains launched.

Work on a under rail bridge between Hallomajra and Mauli Jagran started and a survey for a similar project at the Modern Complex, Mani Majra, conducted.

The third Shatabdi and second Chandigarh-Amritsar express approved by the Railway Minister.

Lows

No solution to a shortage of parking space at railway station.

Authorities did not take much interest in giving a facelift to the Panchkula side of the station.
