In
modern strife torn state hartal has become a common affair. It is
observed at the call of a political party or parties to press their
demand to protest against the corruption, misuse of power and the evil
deeds of the ruling party, Sometimes students and people of a locality
call hartal to express their demands. On a hartal day, normal course of
life is stopped. All means of transport and vehicles do not move on the
roads. People are to take a lot of troubles to attend their offices.
They go on foot as vehicles are not available. As a result the
attendance is very negligible in the offices, factories, industries and
shops. The economy of the country suffers a heavy loss. Mills, factories
and industries stop their work. All the business certres, markets and
shops remain closed. The supporters in favor of hartal bring out
procession. Often clashes occur between the police and the picketers.
Sometimes clashes take place between the supporters of the opposition
and the ruling political parties which result in some deaths. On a
hartal day the sufferings of the people know no bound.
