Summer Special trains - a black spot on Indian Railways

On 13th of June I had a railway ticket to travel from Dhanbad to Old Delhi on the Sealdah-Delhi Summer Special (Train Number 0331, PNR number - 6425797954). The Train which was supposed to start from Sealdah at 1 PM started at 5:15 PM and reached Dhanbad at 10:15 PM - more than 5 hours late. It reached Delhi more than 12 hours late at midnight on 15th. These Summer Special trains do not have any pantry car so you can imagine what conditions people are in. Water in the bathrooms get over and when the train is late by such long hours, conditions turn inhuman.

If there is no infrastructure to run these trains, please do not run them - it is better for Indian public not to travel than travel in such inhuman conditions with no food or water. Please stop these trains or run them in better conditions - punctually with all the required facilities in an Indian railway train.
