Champaran HumSafar Express : इन अजनबी सी राहों में, जो तू मेरा हमसफ़र हो जाये, बीत जाए पल भर में ये वक़्त, और हसीन सफ़र हो जाये. - Piyush Singh

No garibrath extension to palasa is not at good option. There are lots technical problem to extened this train to a small station like Palasa, from where even there is no ordinary express.

So there is no chance increase in coaches.
