good for nothing harthal!

   Posted by: Vinod Chacko   in misc

wow, again the useless governing party had announced another harthal.  I dont know what these idiots gain by creating chaos in the society and by disturbing social balance.

Harthal is now not a way of protesting against policies. If they need to protest against these fuel price hike, let them do the following

1. Take off the taxes levied by state government on the petrol products.

2. Cut down travel expenses of government officials.

3. Encourage public transport – instead of increasing the bus fare , slash it down and increase the number of state owned public transport in and between cities.

4. Build better roads so that we’ll get better fuel efficiency.

5. Encourage ‘Green’ transport ( Reva etc )

6. Levy tax or toll to private transport in cities ( because city traffic is more fuel consuming )

Hartal is supposedly a peaceful form of protest compared to attacks like those of maoists.

But its no longer, some claim to have non forced or …. but yet all the chaos a hartal continues.

Either form hartal have turned ineffective.It does not make any effect, other than a token protest, but these days it doesn’t give way for that as well.

I like some of your suggestions
Suggestion 2) and we need to adopt video conferencing as it already started in Central Jail. Not just the jails but all other spheres as well.

Suggestion 3) we need a mad rush to improve the public transport system, but we also need to improve its standards from cattle class.Something which the elite can also bear with and is economical although a hike is acceptable in case of a govt transport system.

suggestion 4) we need them, we need better infrastructure.

but i am not sure about others
Suggestion 1) govt is very poor. and they are heavily Dependant on these.

suggestion 5) is good but as with all green things it is not applicable for common man or commercial use, other than to make a hue and cry about it to attract attention.
