Clear proof that Farakka extn was not a good decision
Compare the crowd inside & outside of 1st 2 general coach

Does Balurghat need a proof more clearer than this??

Eastern Railway should now remove Vikas Chaube from DRM Malda. Under his jurisdiction nothing new happened in Malda Division like upgradation of tracks to 130kmph, New trains from Malda, bhagalpur , NFR snatching trains for free & many more. Infact before him all DRMs were very arrogant to giving trains for free like extension of Farakka,Gour Express , Vikramshila, Vananchal, BGP LTT triweekly etc. But upon his arrival all Farakka, BGP LTT triweekly(1day extn) , Nabadwip Dham Malda Town express all these trains got extended to places like Godda, Balurghat without any compensation. Even in ZRUCC , DRUCC meetings DRM malda never writes for new trains only new stoppage, station upgrade etc these type of issues are raised. Now you decide
