This Rake Lies idle for 5 days at PDPK/SHM.. Considering that its a small rake it can easily be run on a Seating day routes like Shalimar to Bankura in the evening After the departure of Purulia express between the long gap of HWH-PRR and Chakradharpur. and on the reverese in the gap between Shiromani and PRR-HWH. OR as overnight service to HAZARIBAGH town/ Kenduajhargarh/ Rajgir. weekly or twice a week services will be sufficient.

In my opinion railways should extend 12881/82 Puri Shalimar Garibrath upto Ranchi jn via Hijli, Tatanagar , and should also change the coach composition of this upto 22 coaches instead of 16 coaches.
