Problem is smaller towns and cities frequently demanding extensions, diversions, mergers, stoppages at their towns. Yaha ki train wahan chalao, wahan ki train yaha chalao is their motto.
Trains are meant to connect major towns in a region to cities/ metros/ small towns. Agar chalani hai toh sidha waha se chalao jaha se extend karwana ho.
Just observe the extension of Gorakhdham express. Thrice third it was extended from NDLS to Rohtak, Bhiwani, Hisar and finally Bathinda. Jaipur we already know what has happened 😂
Aise...
