Due to the demands raised by truck owners and staff working in oil PSUs, the situation has been created where almost 80-90% of the petrol pumps are now devoid of the stock...The oil industry is facing the closure of plant run time activities...the fertilizer units had been shut off due to unavailability of natural gas through HBJ pipelines...Due to unavailability of essential commodity items, the prices of food grains and vegetables had soured up...People are forced to abscond their vehicles and opting for public transport instead...The fare of auto/ taxi had soared like anything...There has been a long queue at the petrol pumps to take a glimpse of the liquid...Government has already imposed ASMA ban on this strike and is opting for taking help from army to drive the fuel stock stored in the trucks to their destination...
The most horrifying fact of the above is that, this all mayhem had occurred in just 5 days of strike. And on top of it, this is not backed by any ISI or terror group, these are same Indians who are ready to destroy the reputation and revenue structure of their own country. Just think of the past when the concept of strikes was formalized. It was the medium through which people can raise their opinion to the management. It supported the freedom to express, and freedom to raise your voice, keeping in mind that ordinary citizen shouldn’t be affected in any case. And now see the latest strike concept. It doesn’t even match any standard of ethical protest. Some time back, Pak terrorists set Taj Mahal hotel on fire in Mumbai and destroyed crores worth of property…Govt, army and NSG had a hard time to control that situation. Hasn’t the recent strike done the same amount of loss to the property and revenue of the country? Why can’t people realize this fact?
On the other hand if we view this situation from striker’s point, there is hardly any choice left for them. In order to get them heard, they have to trouble the government by troubling the ordinary citizens. It’s a Catch-22 situation where some Indians had to transfer their pain to other Indians so that they can get relief. If we can get answer to this equation, then we could possible resolve many issues in future. And why I am hoping about future is that, the strikes had already made a deep dent in the economy in the past too (remember Nano fiasco) that it will be hard to recover in present time.
God…save the country from its own people..!!!
