Ohh this ‘BANDH’

Tweet

Bandh is a kind of strike, very frequent in my state; the political parties, sometimes the lawyers give calls to observe such ‘BANDH’, in advance. I am away from home, in a friend’s home in connection with ‘revised-pension’; here all the shops, bank, schools, colleges, offices ,even post-offices, medicine shops are closed, no 4 wheelers are seen on streets, some bikes can be seen only, in many places they have blocked roads by burning used up tyres from cars, trucks. Though it is a working day, I couldn’t go to the office where I am supposed to deposit the papers. [b]I came to know over phone from my home that my son could not go to his works because of this. He will lose his salary. [/b] [b] [b]My wife said, one of her essential medicines was exhausted, but she could not buy as medicine shop is closed. [/b] My home renovation work is going on there, the workers had come, but one group threatened them, they left; they lost one day wage too.[/b] I also know that trains are canceled, because the groups in the past have blown the railway tracks. [b]I really hate this. But no way I can help too. [/b] [b]Do you have such strikes and protests in your country? Please comment on this and share your opinion. Thanks in advance.
