Truly speaking, it is not about my concern about these remote places of IR. It is the human nature to want the stoppage of all trains passing through his/her residential place or the station nearest to his/her residential place. This is not wrong at all. But the fact is that providing more and more stoppages to express trains decreases their average speed and makes them more and more like passenger trains. Already train no. 18403/18404 - Chakradharpur (CKP) - Barbil (BBN) - Chakradharpur (CKP) Intercity Express stops at Kendposi (KNPS) Station between Chaibasa (CBSA) and Dangoaposi (DPS). If stoppage is provided at Jhinkpani (JNK) also, then next the people of Maluka (MLKA) station will also demand for its stoppage there. On 25/08/2014, the people of Maluka Station had jammed the rail track for 5 hours 30 minutes demanding for the stoppage of train no. 12021/12022 - Howrah (HWH) - Barbil (BBN)...
more... - Howrah (HWH) Janshatabdi Express and train no. 18403/18404 -Chakradharpur (CKP) - Barbil (BBN) - Chakradharpur (CKP) Intercity Express at that station, but their demand was not granted. So, if both these trains are given stoppage at Jhinkpani station, then next stoppage will have to be given at Maluka station. Then on travelling from Chaibasa (CBSA) to Dangoaposi (DPS), these express trains will have halt after every 10 minutes and will take the same time as the passenger train. What will be the difference on travelling through this route by an express train and by the passenger train? If this is true, then why shall anyone travel by express train and pay more money? And why not cancel this train no. 18403/18404 - Chakradharpur (CKP) - Barbil (BBN) - Chakradharpur (CKP) Intercity Express and introduce in its place a Chakradharpur (CKP) - Barbil (BBN) - Chakradharpur (CKP) Passenger Train?
