Hartal culture
We need to stop these hartals and I think it is now time for judicial intervention. A couple of months back , the West Bengal High Court issued a rule (I am not sure about the exact judicial terminology) barring processions through certain streets as those were hindering transportation of patients to hospitals as well as interfering with movements of the office goers. So why can't our top judiciary take cognisance of the untold miseries of millions of people and stop these insane acts? We know that hartal is a democratic right but with the right comes the obligation of not curbing the rights of others.
Living here in the United States, one cannot truly fathom the inconveniences being faced by the people. I only hope that sanity will prevail, some how.
