Due to continuous blockades and hartals, the country's economy is facing severe loss. Innocent people are dying all around us, properties are getting vandalised, schools are remaining closed.

It has been more than a month since the anti-government blockade started. With it came continuous spells of hartal, and while Molotov cocktails have become part-and-parcel of the 20-party alliance strategy, it appears that firearms are about to join the fray. The police have recently unearthed an illegal racket of arms whereby dealers are using children as arms carriers.
