For those on the forum completely unaware as to why there are delays:
Most thermal power plants in India have a stock of less than 7 days in storage, which is below critical levels. SECR is under strict PMO orders to move coal freights on priority.
Plus...
more... most of the route between Jharsuguda and Nagpur, Bina and Katni (WCR) and Katni and Bilaspur is undergoing signalling and capacity upgradation, resulting in blocks/NI work and even more delays.
Yes passengers are suffering and yes its wrong, but not everything is being done just for revenue.
