From now on, instead of announcing the reschedule of train, they should notify when it is departing as per schedule.

The train departed HWH itself by 2.5 hrs. SER and SCR increased the delay to 4 hrs. Overall, horrible controlling and Ajanta suffers because of this.

By observing it's runs few days back
It's getting daily frequently delayed between KGP-Balasore and VSKP - BZA
Don't know what happened to SCR and SER
The train itself partially belongs to their division but they only delay it heavily

In the VSKP-BZA section, not only this one but all other trains suffering the same fate. BZA division is delaying trains horribly in this section.

After this massive terrible train accident of Coromandel Express even with LHB coaches
I hope SCR even now wake up and make Falaknuma LHB ASAP
I didn't understand the fact that it was the first train from SCR proposed to get LHB conversion ; but even Visakha which proposed after Falaknuma got lhbfied

It's

Re# 5741912-13              
Certainly if it was ICF casualties would have been much higher as all the coaches would have climbed on top of one another instead of the initial few ones as in this case. Also in the past we have definitely seen accidents of LHB coaches derailment where they saved lives like the Poorva express one.

Re# 5741912-16              
Main villain of this train is 12703 TT arrival at 10:10 and 12704 dep is at 15:55. This is not enough time for maintenance so RSA with a train with late departure from SC is must. RSA with Narayanadri used to work to a little bit but we all know great secondary maintenance of SRC. Back then and even now, this train is known for its worst maintenance. Even when PM was at TPTY it was bad. They somehow convinced SCR to get rid of the RSA and change PM to SC. And now poor Ajanta got entangled with this train. They should be swapping TT of Visakha with Falaknuma i.e around 15:00 departure and Visakha can have RSA with Ajanta. Falaknuma should depart around 08:00 in the night from Secunderabad and arrive at 21:15 - 21:45 at Howrah. Return it can start from 07:25 like before and reach at 09:05....
more...
This will even encourage SCR to give it LHB as soon as possible. Visakha got LHB sooner because it was standalone.
