ट्रेनों का सफर, ज़िन्दगी का सफर, रेलफैन दोनों में माहिर

They have done survey to connect Kirandul with plains in Telengana not sure whether it's Manuguru or any nearby place near Bhadrachalam. The region has less population and railway services will not sustain the construction and operational cost to operate train services. Kirandul has iron ore reserves which are present bring exported through Vizag port and Visakhapatnam Steel plant. The kirandul Kothavalsa line is being doubled and already alternate line to Rayagada is there in case of emergency. At this point there is no necessity to provide alternative for iron ore transport. The passenger train day service runs with less then 50% occupancy after Araku and the night express train hardly has travellers after Jagdalpur and both of them act as connectivity to the region.

How is this possible? This train is dedicated for HCNR, KDJR, BSPX, DPS and CBSA region. It was especially introduced for these areas in 2014 as special train and then for the benefit of the people of these areas, it was made permanent. Later another weekly TATA - VSKP Special Express was also introduced in this route which ran for few years. Also proposal was made in 2022 to make this train bi-weekly. At that time it was always running with 50% occupancy. Now when it is running with 100% occupancy, then suddenly how come talks about its route changing is arising?

Main discussion is not about route change, its about extension till hyderabad or a direct tata kollam train because of rsa, since railway is not able to manage its delay, always rescheduled by 3 hours.
