is gaari ka sanatan kaaal se yehi raha hain.....kisi ne koshish nahi kari ki iska uthhhan ho...........My take is why not convert this train to a FAST PASSENGER and attach 3AC,SL to it so that passengers from Dekargaon can have a sleeping accomodation.Its tough for passengers from Tezpur and surrounding areas to on board this train at night without sleeping accomodation.Trains from pocket areas run on this principle only In the morning passengers can on board various long distance train from RNY,NBQ.If it is augmented in this pattern the importance will increase.Some deletion in stoppages are required.Then this can act as a potent intercity train from Upper Assam to North Bengal.A DEMU can be run in NBQ-NCB-NJP section in lieu of it.
