    Valentine's Day fever gripped Chandigarh and other places in Punjab and Haryana as youngsters celebrated the day of love with zeal.

    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.
