हमसे सीखे कोई जीने का सलीका। सफर कैसा भी हो, मौज़ उडाये जाते हैं।। - Amir

Kindly remove the cancel. Train is still running with the same number. Destination changed to ALLP. This train will be running with the same number till Jan 25. Merged service with 16307/08 will start from Feb. Verified in IRCTC as well
I guess they are not merging because tickets would have been already sold, and they don't want to create diff in train number with respect to ticket and train.
