Agree
It is almost confirmed that ECR doesn't want to serve the people of Jharkhand. Despite SER sending a proposal to extend the Hatia-Shanki Passenger up to Hazaribagh Town, there has been no update from the ECR HQ.

P.S:-Reply From SER

Agree
Extension of Hatia Shanki Passenger upto Hazaribagh Town is already sent to Railway Board
Extension of Koderma Barkakana upto Mesra is already sent to Railway Board then why they are not approving these purposal.

They should merge these two trains and operate them three times a day between Ranchi and Koderma in both directions.
