Darpan News Desk IANS, 14 Feb, 2016 12:53 PM
    Valentine's Day fever gripped Chandigarh and other places in Punjab and Haryana as youngsters celebrated the day of love with zeal.
     
    Tight security arrangements were made by the police in cities and towns across Punjab to ensure that no untoward incident took place.
     
    In Chandigarh, the major action was around the city's popular 'Geri route' in Sectors 8 to 11.
     
    "It was a bright and sunny day today (Sunday). Despite being a Sunday, V-Day enthusiasts were out in good numbers in market places, multiplexes, restaurants and parks," Gaurav Sharma, a university student said.
     
     
    Police personnel could be seen stationed along the 'Geri route' and other places like Panjab University campus, other educational institutions and the famed Sukhna Lake.
     
    Reports of Valentine's Day being celebrated in Amritsar, Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda in Punjab and Ambala, Hisar, Karnal and Rohtak in Haryana were also received.
