Some CTU buses heading towards Punjab and Himachal Pradesh were also stopped in the morning on Wednesday, but were allowed to resume journey in the afternoon.

PRTC and PUNBUS Joint Workers Action Committee leaders said talks were held with CTU officials, who assured the old timetable will continue until a fresh meeting on June 19 after the Lok Sabha elections.

Therefore, bus services were resumed and buses from Punjab started arriving at the Sector-43 bus stand post noon. Bus services to Chandigarh bus stands will be fully restored from Thursday, they added.
