They can make excuses about fog for trains running from the North, but how will they justify that most express trains are late by 5-6 hours a day? Here is an example. There is a need to review the ‘train preference’ policy for the convenience of passengers. . @RailMinIndia @FerrocarrilSeva pic.twitter.com/ME32Wrx0nQ

This has become a common thing, recently I had to come to Delhi from Tata Nagar and my train was late by 6 hours. I complained to the railway service but they responded abruptly that the train is late due to a technical problem.
