Night bus service stopped during Punjab militancy period resumes

Chandigarh: Punjab Roadways Transport Corporation has started inter-state night bus service, which was stopped during the militancy period nearly three decades back.

The services were stopped in 1987 after an increase in the incidents of passengers being targeted by the militants.

Services have been resumed on short routes from Patiala to Chandigarh and Ambala to start with.

The corporation is also planning to start long distance Night Bus Service from Bhatinda, Amritsar and Ludhiana in the near future.
