No fresh cases of violence reported

Chandigarh: After five days of violence, Tuesday passed off peacefully with agitators lifting road and rail blockades across the state. According to the government, blockades have been cleared from railway tracks and roads, including national highways like NH1, connecting Delhi to Chandigarh and NH-10.
