"Bharat Bandh" on Monday 5th July

Yes we'll see the peaceful nature when patients die in ambulances because of traffic jams, the way it happened in Delhi last year.


Not to forget, thousands are dying of Hunger due to huge price raise!

That is a very exciting news..
Can you give its details or the link where the details are available..?
I want to know whether the govt. schools and colleges will also be off or not..??

As it is a Bharat Bandh, means it will be truely successful in raising price hike issue.

Frankly speaking I am tired of this bandh politics.Of all parties BJP has no moral right to call it.How many times it raised it raised fuel prices.The height of hypocrisy!

This was expected as price rise in all sectors is having a bad effect on the economy and people's lives.

I agree with Chninmoy. He aptly states that BJP has no moral right to call bandh. Congress and BJP are chips of the same block. Protsts should be organized without disturbing public life. Holding demonstration before district and Taluka Hq. and submitting memorandum suffice.

In West Bengal the communist-run Left Front Government called a bandh one very next day of the announcement of the revises price of petro goods without any notice causing immense misery to the people.

This is indeed nothing but show of strength by the Left front in West Bengal. Price rise is only secondary matter for the left.

The funny thing is CPM-led front has the most dubious distinction calling maximum number of bandhs in its 34 years' continuous rule in the state.

I wonder if a successful bandh is going to bring down the prices!

On the same day Odisha Ruling party Biju janta dal(BJD) also has called strike.

University exams has postponed for the strike.

This is the admission season for many engineering colleges.It is going to cause tremendous hardship for the common people apart from the economic losses for the country.

Good Statistics provided by Sajeetharan. This needs to be addressed through correct means.

in future there may be a scenario that Iran may be attacked by the US .you know what will happen then??. international crude oil prices will sky rocket . And it will DIRECTLY affect the Indian consumers because of this deregulation.. Who will take the credit then??.. PM??

Emergencies are tackled by emergency measures.Let us not presuppose!

though today is a bandh... i'm not seeing a very good participation in boddunan... maybe because people logging from their offices are unable to get in here...

Jobin- If offices are closed owing to bandh, it is obvious that employees working in those offices cannot use the office internet. I could also not use the net as there were obstructions caused by Bandh.
The purpose of bandh is more to show strength of the participating parties and less to highlight people's problems. However, let us hope for the best.

Madhya Pradesh saw a near total shutdown as protesters clashed with the police at several places and over 200 of them were arrested. The strike hit normal life in capital Bhopal, Jabalpur and Gwalior cities.

Life in Chhattisgarh and Kerala came to a virtual standstill as air, rail and road services were disrupted. The bandh evoked a lukewarm response in Tamil Nadu .

Goa observed 100 per cent bandh as besides call for strike against spiralling prices of essential commodities and fuel hike, the private bus operators had also resorted for strike seeking hike in the ticket fare.

Shops were closed in many parts of Himachal Pradesh and road and rail services affected. Road traffic was hit in many parts of the state. In Shimla, schools and educational institutions were closed.

Bandh in Bangalore was peaceful and total successful. Bangalore Shut down completely on Monday.

Chennai: Normal life remained largely unaffected in Tamil Nadu Monday during the dawn-to-dusk shutdown called by seven opposition parties to protest the hike in fuel prices.
