A closure at the Shambhu border, triggered by a farmers' march, left the Ambala–Chandigarh corridor stalled for several hours, disrupting commuters and logistics.
The Shambhu border, a key junction between Ambala and Chandigarh, was shut down after a farmers' march blocked the road. The closure caused a traffic jam that stretched for several hours, leaving commuters and freight vehicles stranded. Police and traffic officials were deployed to manage the situation and clear the route. The border was eventually reopened, but delays persisted as vehicles worked their way through the congestion.
