Delay in arrival and departure of trains: Will Railways rectify?

Sir,

Of late, the arrival and departure of various trains at Mysuru and its suburban stations are very erratic.  Besides the long  halts of the so-called Super Fast Mysuru-Mayiladuthurai Express at a couple of unscheduled stations between Mysuru and KSR, the Tumakuru-Chamarajanagar passenger (07346) too faces twin crossings (06234 & 06275), either at Ashokapuram or Kadakola each day that cause abnormal delay.

 On June 19, this train (07346) was impounded for almost 50 minutes at the Ashokapuram Station — reasons unknown.  In such cases, should not the station staff make an announcement for the passengers?  Don’t the commuters have a right to know the reason? On behalf of thousands of train travellers, I appeal to the station-in-charge officers concerned to announce the delay with reason and the Railways to rectify the problem.
