Bokaro and Chandrapura are only 15 kms apart. Same for Asansol, Raniganj and Durgapur, the distance between the two set of stations is too low for a Shatabdi stoppage, IMO.

Chandrapura and Bokaro are not well connected by road transport. Forget about transport, even the road is poor and BKSC station is difficult to reach. Even rail connectivity is poor and no frequent MEMU trains.

Cannot be compared with ASN-DGR

In recent days I've seen unhealthy obsession of members with trains and stations.

For example the Vikramshila guy, he left the site over a stoppage rumor. The Malda guy, he's inconsolable after Farakka went to BLGT. The Ara, Patna and Sasaram guys, they think people are jealous of a city they probably won't even visit. The Kakinada and Khammam guys, they went on abusing other cities. Or the anti Vande Bharat guy, leaving no stone unturned to create controversy.
...

At the end of the day, trains are just a transport medium. They'll get extended if railways sees the feasibility or even if strong politics is involved.

Trains aren't some status symbol, regular people don't even care if they're sitting in some random special or a named train as long as it takes them to their destinations.

You can get a thousand trains, or maybe get none e.g. Rajgir area, but will that change what the city has to offer? Or what is the potential of that city? Or what are the living standards of people in that city? No.

As I've commented earlier, trains aren't life. Being a fan is okay, but making them a matter of life or ego is equally bad.

Hope people understand this and indulge in constructive discussions. Many older members have already left this site, due to the undue politics and controversies. If that keeps happening all that will remain is a fish market with no knowledgeable source in sight.

Some of the members don't take the criticism in positive manner.They will not see the logic behind the criticism and just bash the person here and there .Even I am on this platform for more than five years but I don't take much interest into any conversation since don't know who will be provoked with any arguments of mine

That's exactly the reason I didn't join the site earlier, even though I've been following it for almost 10 years.

But now, I have seen all types of people in my day to day life due to my profession. I think I can work out with some unruly members.

remember the last time I made an ID, my one sensational comment got a lot of hits. And my blog post containing snaps didn't even get one. So I deleted and left for good, until now.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
