Bal Malkit Singh, Executive Chairman of the Maharashtra State Punjabi Sahitya Academy (Government of Maharashtra), has written to the Chairman of the Railway Board, drawing urgent attention to the misuse of reserved coaches on Train No. 11012 Dhule–CSMT Express (08:40 AM departure from Manmad Junction).

On the sacred occasion of Pooranmashi, large groups of Sikh pilgrims (Sewak Jatha) travel to Manmad Gurudwara Sahib with confirmed reserved tickets. These pilgrims, mainly women, perform Kirtan, recite Gurbani, and serve Langar during their spiritual journey.
