Read Statistics.
Check the Population of Ghaziabad and compare it with other Cities that you've mentioned, in fact just compare it with Varanasi and Prayagraj (Allahabad).
Then you'll know why I'm favouring Ghaziabad (if you're not that biased) ЁЯШВЁЯШВ. Compare the GDP too.
Plus it's also serving Noida, so you might wanna consider that.
On...
more... what basis Stations of Bihar and Jharkhand demand halts ? In a country like India, does Population not matter at all ??
Agar Aapka waala "Deserving Stations for Premium Train" waala logic lag gaya toh Ranchi Rajdhani ke Jharkhand Halts chale jaayenge.
Ghaziabad is near to Delhi, it doesn't mean that a Large amount of Population would've to suffer through odd timings just to satisfy your baseless "Premium Criteria" which doesn't exist anymore now- Politics does.
If Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani Express can halt at Gurgaon Station as well as Sabarmati Station (for Ahmedabad) then Rajdhani Trains can SURE SHOT halt at Ghaziabad.
And I'm not wasting my time justifying these things to a Person who's already blinded by "Premium Criteria". I state my demands for people not for status of Trains, trains exist FOR People.
Let's agree to disagree.
Ciao.
