Padatik's run time is less. Initially, even I liked it. But slowly, with stop at Malda, train's value got reduced. I have seen it reaching late at SDAH and getting OT by NJP AC at Jamirghata. But DM is more consistent. Although, 12343 is also tormented daily at MLDT-KNE section. Don't know what is the problem there and why that has not been solved.
