Subject: Troubles faced by public during Dharnas and strikes
Sir:
I am writing this letter to express my concern over the problem of Dharna and strikes. The people who suffer the most with Dharna and strikes are the common people. I myself became the victim of one such public demonstration; I could not reach my entrance exam for JEE on time and missed it. These strikes, Dharnas, and demonstrations cause many inconveniences to people. Some of the many demerits of Strikes, Bandhs, and Blockades are given below:
1.The general flow of life is stopped. Vehicles, transportation system is halted.
2.People face inconvenience.
3.Supply of essential goods and services is affected.
4.Sick people or critically ill people can’t be moved from one place to another.
5.Production of essential goods is affected.
6.Public property is damaged.
7.Schools, colleges, and universities are shut down.
8.The poor people who earn their wages on daily basis don’t get work and wages
Through the medium of your esteemed daily I appeal to people and the Government to join hands against Dharnas and strikes. If they have anything to protest they may do it peacefully, without resorting to violence, damaging public property, etc. The Government must also make strict rules and regulations against violent Dharnas and strikes.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Taruna
To the Editor of The Times of India;
I Taruna Roy, medical 3rd –year student today missed the exam of anatomy because of public demonstration of a political-party in our area, which caused transport strike.
I feel that this kind of demonstration is a public-menace that hampers everyday life of mass.
Please take step to stop this kind of harassment.
