Nagpur Ajmer 2013 New Train poor Response from peoples

POOR planning on part of Central Railway officials left devotees of Khawaja Garib Nawaj in a lurch. The special train between Nagpur-Ajmer started six hours late as the rake reached here quite late. Owing to ongoing Mrs, a number of people from city and nearby areas were interested in undertaking the pilgrimage. But. Nagpur Division officials failed to announce in advance the special train between Nagpur and Ajmer. In the Railway Budget. a direct service between Nagpur and Ajmer was announced hut the train is yet to materialize  In the meantime, divisional authorities tried to run a special service about which there was total confusion within the railways till the last moment. Finally, when the train was announced, travelers did not even had information about the same. 

Worse, when the train started off from Nagpur station, it was behind schedule by almost six hours. The result, most of the coaches in the train were empty as Central Railway's Nagpur Division could not finalize the coaches and arrangement within time. The train was to start at 8 am but the rake arrived at Nagpur and journey of pilgrims started at 2 pm.

The occupancy figure in the train was AC-II (nil). AC-III (15), 2nd sleeper (71) and general (19). While the Central Railway announced the train would be having just 18 coaches, the rake comprised of 20 coaches. There was total mis-communication and when people desirous of undertaking journey reached Nagpur station, no information was available about the train and its timing.
