I am not sure why Mr. MIFTAHUL HUSSAIN actually bothers to even writeabout 
this. Assam bandhs are 'public holidays' that the state govt.forgot to include. 
So, every few days, sections of people take it byforce. The policy is simple: 
if you don't give, we will take it byforce.

Twice-told tale Sir,–An Assam bandh is as boring and totally uninspiring as a 
'twicetold tale'. Assam specialises in these bandhs and of late thefrequency of 
Assam bandhs has increased quite a bit. It tellspotential investors in Assam 
that work has no priority here. Thesebandhs which take place here for no rhyme 
or reason do hold upbusiness.
A new Assam has to march to a tune different from the music of thebandhs. The 
organisers of these bandhs have to realise that theinhabitants of today's Assam 
come from many walks of life and fromvarious communities who speak many 
languages whose day to day needsare shattered on these bandh days. Assam today 
has become bereft of awork culture and the occurrence of these bandhs again and 
again doesaugment further decay in the work culture of Assam. The quicksand 
(ahidden trap from which escape is difficult or impossible) of sloth isnot 
helping the resurgence of Assam in the new century. – Yours etc.,MIFTAHUL 
HUSSAIN, Guwahati.
