Useful Agree
Both 03325/26 and 06063/64 need to be regularized in my opinion .
03325/26 will not serve DHN that well given the extremely longer route taken but it will serve Giridih, Hazaribagh and Koderma well. I am glad better sense prevailed and ECR didn't just terminate this train at GAYA itself.
06063/64 needs to be regularized ASAP due to the overbearing load on 13351/52. It would serve DHN,BKSC & RNC quite well. And SR needs to attach AC coaches to this train. A significant section of the passengers from these cities avoid it because

of lack of AC accommodation.
Moreover a dedicated tri-weekly/daily train to Chennai is urgently needed, can be alternatively run via RNC and ASN.
