Gitanjali has a roundtrip of 3950km which requires PM at HWH. The line from Tatanagar to Raipur is best known for its punctuality due to freight movement in SECR and this gets late and the situation will not improve in next 3 years. So it's nots recommended.

You are right but how did 18046 had rsa with 18615. And 18409 can have rsa with 18046?

---

When Hatia HWH had RSA with East coast express they used to be SM at Hyd during ICF Era. Now with LHB coaches they have eliminated SM at Hyd. If jaganath or Puri express has RSA again they need to do SM at Hyderabad as chain distance exceeds 2000km.

---

If 18047 gets LHBfied this year can they make it RSA with some other train ?

---

18047 doesn't require any rsa, but it can be a good option for 18045.

---

Dakshin is most punctual train among all.

Don't take risk for Patalkot and TN.

Dakshin----Patalkot------GT-----TN

---

Go for Either Dakshin or GT

---

I think dakshin's maintenance is worst AFAIK

---

But it has many halts will he get issues will unreserved passenger enter ac coaches on that route

---

I have travelled alot in Dakshin though not till Delhi but mainly between RKMP and CD and 1 time from RKMP to GWL and I have not faced even single issue regarding unreserved passenger in AC coaches. Coaches from outside may look dirty and poorly maintained but interior is well cleaned and decently maintained.
