* JU-MJ-AII-BHL-COR-INDB-BPL Route from JU is a good feature as a large number of new connectivity is achieved (although at the expense of JP which otherwise is well connected.
* This route is shorter than the route via UJN,NAD, Kota-JP by 56kms
* There are 3 practical options from R-PURI,
(1) R-BSP-JSG-SBPY-(CTC)-BBS-KUR-PUI -Shortest & Fastest
(2)...
more... R-TIG-SBP-CTC-BBS-KUR-PUI-Short-Slow
(3) R-TIG-VZM-KUR-PUI Long distance
* But the third option which has been chosen is the worst amongst the three.
(1) it is much longer than the route (hefty 180 kms longer)via JSG
(2) It bypasses all the major cities of the region, it neither touch VSKP in AP nor BBS,CTC,SBP in Orissa.
* Patronage to the fully ac Humsafar will be good from JU-R and very poor from R-PUI.
