" It overtook 12669 Chennai-Chhapra Ganga Kaveri Express at Varanasi City (though Ganga Kaveri departed from BSB earlier but was made to halt at BCY to give way to the king) "

I am speechless, People say that it's ALD Division worst in terms of managing traffic but i find NER Varanasi Division worst in terms of managing traffic, how can they allow Bapudham to Overtake Ganga Kaveri even when Ganga Kaveri has no halts between Varanasi and Ghazipur City ?
Both are SF and are good trains but i am unable to understand why Bapudham was allowed to overtake Ganga Kaveri ?
.
The same happened with me when i was traveling in 15160 Sarnath Express, the train was running 10 minutes before time, and was looped at Rajwari for more than 50 minutes to give way to late running Hahiharnath Express. Hahiharnath has less stoppages as compared to Sarnath Express but I can't find any logic behind putting a train running 10 minutes ahead in a loop for 50 minutes.

This is the daily routine in NER Varanasi Division, Sometimes they allow UP Sarnath to overtake UP Sadbhavna Express before GCT, After the overtake Sadbhavna crawls behind Sarnath Express till BSB and gets delayed unnecessarily.
