Why Railway board never took action for increasing the frequency of this train? Earlier it is the direct train to Varanasi but later during Lalu's time as a RM, this train was forcibly extended to Chhapra in 2008 and many South Indians were protested against this. I saw often this train many spiritual tour operators using this train usually above 50-60 ages for visiting Prayagraj Varanasi for doing Pind Daan, Pitru/Shraddha Karma etc also lots of South people visit this above places. Better SR can run another train to Varanasi via BPQ G NIR JBP route for shortest route if slot is not available and there is not even a daily train to Varanasi to Chennai since ages. Travelling in Sanghamitra/Bagmati/other weekly trains towards Bihar and changing at DDU is quite riskier as from an perspective of South Indian spiritual traveller. My family members (my Dad, Grandmother, my Aunt) etc travelled...

They had made Vivek daily by first cancelling and short terminating Brahmaputra mail upto Kamakhya. Earlier Vivek ran via Asansol now via Dankuni. Later RB directed to change some train slots. Just like they can also increase frequency of GK (5 days via Gondia route and 2 days via normal route). I think this train should be extended upto Tiruchirapalli as well then only the "Ganga Kaveri" name will be suited. Can be run via Main line and Egmore as well for 5 days if SR agreed to increase frequency.
