Is It AC? If yes,then i think it won't be HIT.Better run it as a Garib Rath only since It is using the Garib Rath's Rake or In a Few months,the same will be Converted into GR.(IMO)

Coming onto the Halts,I Agree with you.Halts are really very less..they must Provide halt at Beas,New Morinda Jn,Rupnagar(Ropar) being an Important Stn of the Section,with the extension upto NLDM.
