Railways stop selling tickets

CHANDIGARH: There was chaos at Chandigarh Railway Station as authorities stopped selling tickets for an hour, fearing that trains may not run. This resulted in a mad rush when the ticket window was opened once supply was restored.
Soon after announcement was made that sale of tickets will be suspended, there was a scramble at the ticket window and the authorities had to call in the police to control the large crowd.
"I was afraid that I may not get the ticket on time as my train had been announced and I still had a long way to go in the queue," said Ramesh Tiwari, a passenger.
"We stopped ticket sale for an hour as there was a possibility that trains might not come" said station superintendent, Parveen Kumar.
