The Chandigarh Transport Undertaking (CTU) has started a free transport service from Sector-43 ISBT for the people returning from Uttarakhand after being stranded due to floods.
Under its free transport service, the CTU would ensure that people reach their homes free of cost after reaching Chandigarh from Uttarakhand.
CTU General Manager Amrik Singh said, “The CTU has since last week organized camps at Sector-43 bus stand to enable free transport for people returning from Uttrakhand after being stranded due to floods. Helpline counters have also been set up with Inspectors on duty 24X7. Their main motive was to ensure that those returning from Uttrakhand suffer no more inconvenience.”
The CTU also organized a blood donation camp on Wednesday where about 70 UT employees donated their blood. In all 120 units of blood was collected.
