It has been observed that every week the train in being rescheduled after changing from the older platform number to new one. Is it having issue at platform number 9 or something else at NDLS.

Exactly, this is something what I pointed out in my earlier post, being a frequent traveller of this train, all I can say is this train has lost its past glory, it invariably runs late, gets rescheduled even during fine weather conditions, departure delays once in three months is acceptable but departure delays by more than 2 hours every week for a Rajdhani, that too nation's first Rajdhani pretty well sums up the abject condition of this train. Sealdah Rajdhani has been able to maintain punctuality in the recent past.

That is

why I had voiced for following the Mumbai Rajdhani model, let Sealdah Rajdhani run with 6 stops, and Howrah Rajdhani follow the August Kranti Rajdhani model with more number of stops say 10, in that way the time slots can be maintained in a better way, also people of middle tier towns can get an opportunity to travel by Rajdhani express

Great
Stereotype broken‼️
After seeing so many years with Rajendra - Nagar(Patna) Rajdhani Express with maximum 22 coaches becoming the longest Rajdhani Express train 🚆❤️ in our Indian Railways 🇮🇳🚆network.But now with extra coach 'BE1' being attached to the traij for so many days and being removed I think and again attaching it to clear rush of passengers specially during Durga Puja times,railways have few days back made this 'BE-1' permanent coach as 'B-11'.
Thus now Howrah Rajdhani Express becomes the longest Rajdhani Express Train in the country in terms of length(23 coaches),

Rajdhani Express, an emotion for every railway lover.

Rumours are coming that every Rajdhani Express likely to be cancelled permanently.

Agree
but that new tech is not efficient and the LHB is also new tech which can be run at 160 kmph. That is also not done by railways. So new VB will also not run at high speed as much as required. Then whats the use. Point is IR doesn't maintain anything which is introduced. So for these people, they need to first run current tech well than spending again towards wastage. Also, VB cannot offer level of comfort which current LHB coaches are offering. So its of no use new tech. Shatabdi feels better to travel than VB.

Once sleeper Vande Bharat trains start their journey in IR, most probably Rajdhanis will be given the topmost priority. However, that will take some time. As of now, Tejas Rajdhani is the best possible option. Rajdhanis without a unique livery clearly destroys their grace.
By the way, the coach in the pic looks like a bezel-less coach. Am I wrong ?

I agree about all other things like speed will be limited to 130/160kmph only. So LHB too can do 160kmph with WAP5. But about comfort? LHB is less comfortable than VB.
