Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar announced on Sunday that the central government has approved the addition of three more sleeper coaches to the Hazrat Nizamuddin–Ernakulam Duronto Express. This move addresses a long-standing demand from regular travellers on the busy route.

In a Facebook post thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the approval, Chandrasekhar noted that the inclusion of the new coaches would significantly enhance ticket availability and improve passenger convenience.
