Other than that since last 11 days its maintaining its schedule which is quite good. This trains MPS has been increased to 130 KMPH since 5th Apr alongwith Mahabodhi and Sampoorna Kranti and all three trains are maintaining their time table quite well..

A few of his points like unreserved pax boarding SL coaches are valid and a concern in many long distance trains not only from North but also South.

It is a big problem everywhere, and gets a little too much in UP and Bihar due to the fact that many people have migrated to places for their living and when they don't get seats they just board reserved coaches. Railways never acts, they just take fine and now even these people are not much worried about fine. There must be an option to deboard the passengers forcefully and then only the situation will improve..

Its all over IR even in Goa at Dudhsagar falls more than 100s of people board the train as no train have a commercial halt at Dudhsagar.
A strict action is now required as travel in SL class is the most viable option for a middle class family another serious problem is W/L pax occupying seats as if their own.
