Useful
extending KCG CGL till NCJ for 4 days/Daily will be better rather sending Charminar, as already KCG CGL/PDY is half ruined and now ruining charminar exp will be worthless. Atleast Charminar/Sambar SF will be dedicated to chennai. Anyways KCG CGL/PDY is mostly being used by Tirupathi Travelers Rather chennai pax. this will create alternative for NCJ pax for TPTY also.
17653/54- operated as a triweekly with single rake by making it operated in alternative days with 1 hr late departure from both the ends via-TPTY,KPD,TNM,VM,PDY.
17651/52- can be operated as dedicated daily...
more...
train with existing slot with existing route via-RU,AJJ,MS,VM,TPJ, MDU,TEN,NCJ.
17643/44 & 17655/56- 2 Dedicated Rakes with speedup and PM at COA will be better

Charminar extension will ruin the connectivity to chennai
as a frequent traveller to chennai from hyderabad with these trains its always a headache, booked tickets month before still tickets are In RAC.

Sad to see this news ! Why would SCR even do that ?

This is the only "proper" dedicated train from Chennai to Hyderabad and fastest connectivity from Chennai to Hyd main station

Already...

charminar got ruined by SCR/SR cause it got extended to TBM via MS. TBM people - dont come to argue - TBM is like Lingampalli (MAS is like SC) - No TBM can not match connectivity of MAS. Also they are further planning to ruin charminar to CAPE

MS Kacheguda got ruined by getting extended to CGL and now PDY. I mean railways has gone nuts.

Now SCR is destroying this legendary train

Extensions doesn't harm anyone, Charminar got extended till TBM, It still has to pass through MS, Which is in the core city. But in this case CHZ is in the Outskirts, and the station got very poor connectivity.
