I believe it's rather ER's irresponsible controlling here, instead of ECR. It's ER who decides the order of entrance at the zonal switchover point (which is Jhajha here). ECR can't simply dump over its queue, it's the receiving zone (ER) who is the authority to decide the order of entrance. And ER probably decided to let the on-time Garib Rath enter first, since it's anyways a high priority train of the mainline. Hence Kumbha was probably detained at JAJ for the exact reason.
(P.S. Both are ER trains, so no questions of zonal bias here)
please wait...Translate to EnglishIt seems like the fault lies with ER and not ECR. ER calls the shots at the zonal switchover point (Jhajha). ECR can't just mess with its queue - ER decides who goes in first. Garib Rath was on time and a top priority, so ER probably let it go ahead. That's probably why Kumbha got held up at JAJ. Both trains are from ER, so no bias here.
please wait...Translate to HindiMain samajhta hoon ki yahaan zyada charge kar rahe hain ER wale, ECR ke bajaye. Yahaan ER decide karta hai ki zonal point pe entry ka order kaunsi train ko dena hai (jo Jhajha hai yahaan). ECR bas aise hi apne line ka kachra nahi daal sakta hai, authority toh entry ka order decide karne wali zone (ER) hai. Aur shayad ER ne decide kiya hoga ki Garib Rath jaise time pe aane wali train ko pehle aane diya jaye, kyunki wo toh mainline ki ek high priority train hai. Isiliye Kumbha ko shayad JAJ mein detain kiya gaya hoga exact wajah ke liye. (P.S. Dono hi ER ke trains hain, toh yahaan koi zonal bias ki baat nahi hai)
