Good NEWS 🥳🥳
As per the source, RM has declined the proposed extension of Charminar Express. However, he has assured of a new train service from CHZ towards down south (Instead of Charminar extension).

Useful Agree
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
...

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.

एक सुझाव।।।

भारतीय रेल विभाग को चाहिए के जीस ट्रेन में 72 वेटिंग लिस्ट हो उसमें एक कोच बढ़ा करके उन सभी 72 वेटिंग सीटों को कंफर्म करें
ता की यात्रियों को असुविधा का सामना ना करना पड़े और बेहतरीन सफर का आनंद ले सकें
और

इससे एक और फायदा भी है के यात्री को भी ये बात पता चल जाएगी के 72 वेटिंग तक सीटें कन्फर्म हो जाती हैं।
