Hehehe Barua,

instead of 'GOA' in the above statement.

will have to do it.

This looks like the 'chicken or the egg' scenario. And I agree with you in a
round about way. But with some deference to C'da, we can't be blaming the
'people' all the time :-)

So, I thought, this time I ought to blame the GOA.

If the GOA (or GOI) started cutting the pay for employees on bandh days, and
private companies (at the risk of getting rampaged) cut pays likewise,
employees would make sure to at least get to work.

When it starts hitting the pocket books, people will demand there be no
bandhs. Right now, no one cares - as they don't see the colossal indirect
loss to the state and the economy.
So, if the Govt. takes the lead, our people will follow - don't you think?
