Mr. Badal's fondness for declaring holidays on the silliest of the excuse is very old. He is in the look out for such occasions rather than the ways to improve the health of the state's economy. But, what really hurts that he has no heart to visualize the discomforts and problems his this passion brings to the common man. We all know that nothing moves without the permissions from the govt. departments. Just imagine the plight of the people who in this bone chilling winter start from their places like Ferojpur, Amritsar and Bhatind in the morning so that they reach the concerned dept at chandigarh on time to be informed after reaching that holiday was declared. Plight of education in govt. schools hardly needs to be penned and the solution lies in making schools functional as Manpreet Badal said but our CM doesn't want to pay any heed. What is the use of that hospital where doctor is not available and what is the point in appointing doctors when they will not be allowed to work by creating holiday culture. Govt. is simply incresing expenditure at the expense of tax payers who are now fed up. Take the case of last seven days-Satuday, Sunday and monday were holidays, Tuesday working and again Wednesday holiday. Just imagine the plight of the patient who is taking treatment in the govt. hospital or goes to health centre for the delivery of child.
What is most shocking that ruling partner BJP rushes to make protest if any of their powers are curtailed but are silent on all matters directly related with governance. When it comes to governance we never expected Akalis to perform but it is the BJP which has disappointed the people.
Five days week is ok but let us allow the offices and the institutions to work for five days by not allowing closures on working days. What is most shocking that at least 10 times in a year offices are closed for half day to enable the employees to attend religious rallies?
Point is that if they are really so devout why can't they take leave and why are only govt. employees perceived to be religious. Are ninety percent others in the unorganized sector bereft of religious feelings. This is the most important issue which BJP should take up otherwise they are out from Panjab for ever as they are from the centre..
I request Tribune to continue to highlighting this issue till our law makers in Punjab come to realize people's concern. If media wants it can really force law makers
