This is not going to solve anything, but will increase the agony of the common people instead.
 
Many want to go to work, but are not sure what might happen if they indeed go to work when a 'bandh' is called by these groups of people. Common people are just suffering endlessly in this tug-of-war between these groups of people and the government. Don't they get that?
Of course, in general, work ethics too would play a great role in here.
 
Moreover, if the state employees get paid regularly, then only the government should have the 'right' to cut their salary. In addition, many are under paid anyway.
 
Whatever happened to the peace talk? Is it still conditional?

Hehehe Barua,

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?

GOA cannot act unless the people want it. Or if the people want it, GOA will have to do it.
That is the realty.
Thanks

I wholeheartedly agree. There were some efforts to curtail bandhs, but it lasted only for a few months.  But there is no overwhelming attitude against bandhs. The GOA does not have the will power to come down heavily on those participating in bandhs.
 
Does the  State or Central Govt.  ever cut the pay for employees who do not show up on bandhs? Or at the very least force them to take leave. That way, these employees will no longer consider a bandh as another holiday.
 
The daily hazira people don't have a voice - they just grin and bear it.

.......And in Chennai, Hyderabad and Pone and everywhere outside Assam.
The problem seem to be inside Assam where nobody wants to work.
Inside Assam we are more interested in doing Assam Bundh instead.
There is no private industry in Assam because of insurgency etc.
