I went to bhopal some 12 years back for counselling at RGPV. at that time only pf 5-6 side was congested by hotels,lodges, mosques and pf1 side was free in terms of traffic.
if the situation is so worse and as one brother is claiming that majority of its pax come form hbj surrounding area then wcr should prepare for skipping bhopal junction and only giving halt at hbj for raj / shat trains.
