Why is this pair not numbered as 05889/05890 instead of 05890/05891 (some odd numbering as per IR custom)?
And where is 05889 gone?
And whats the difference between 05887/05888 and 05890/05891?

No idea about this strange numbering pattern. Could have easily been merged into a single train. I guess that the biweekly one is regular while the other 5 days a week is given considering the holiday rush, which might be cancelled after the holiday season. Durga Puja is of paramount importance in Assam too.
