Is this just a general question or have you heard a rumour?

I've not heard that side middle berths are being introduced to the Poorva, but I've not been keeping up with the railway news for the last 6 months.

Actually I have booked ticket in AC 3 in Poorva through IRCTC and berth number is allotted as 15(SL) and 16(SU).

Now if side middle berth is introduced, then definitely I have to go for AC 2.

Just to add few in previous reply:

Today I heard from a person travelling through Howrah Chennai Mail in AC 3, that in this train Side Middle is introduced.

If you have 15 and 16 as SL & SU, then there's no side middle berth.

When you book your ticket in such classes, you think more of cost cutting and less of comfort!
