From when this train is getting start. Not able to see the same on IRCTC website
It is excellent. I always prefer to go by train as it is convenient and we can do biz calls and work conveniently . I am travelling in trains for the last 30 years travelled thirty years back in 1995 for my first interview in indore for my first job. I am working for last thirty years in pharmaceutical industry and have visited many cities for my official work in the last thirty years. I was planning to go to udaipur in transit via delhi but now I will visit to udaipur with my family only in this train. We thank indian railways and administration of punjab chandigarh and haryana tricity to keep in mind the needs of northern region to announce on eve of sawan shivratri. Many thanks.
