The railway gate at Lalru in Mohali district will remain closed for five days as authorities carry out track repairs, officials said.
The Lalru railway crossing, located on the outskirts of Mohali, has been ordered closed for a period of five days to allow scheduled maintenance on the adjoining track. Railway officials confirmed that the work will commence on Monday and is expected to be completed by the end of Friday.
Commuters who use the crossing for daily travel have been advised to use alternative routes, including the nearby Gurdaspur Road overbridge and the main highway, to avoid inconvenience. Local transport operators have been notified to adjust their schedules accordingly.
A senior engineer from Northern Railway explained that the repair work involves replacing worn‑out sleepers and realigning the rails to improve safety standards. The closure is being undertaken as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of accidents on this busy line.
Authorities have assured the public that safety checks will be conducted before the gate is reopened, and signage will be updated to guide motorists once the work is finished.
