The strike took place on Sun and today is the 4th day already...
Thinking that this strike or closure of this nation will last a 1-2 days but is already dragging to the 4th day...
Each day, i woke up and will jump to my computer and get online to read up on the latest news of the politics... but as each day passes, the news just get sadder each time...
Just today, the news reported
The taxi drivers are worried after the indefinite general strike called by the Unified CPN (Maoist) showed no signs of ending even as it entered the fourth day.
Ganesh Thapa Magar of Charikot, Dolakha, who has worked as a taxi driver since the last 11 years says the general strike has cost him dearly as it has robbed him of his income from which he used to provide for his family, his children’s education and room rent.
“No matter I can go without food for one or two days. But what about the children? How do you feed them? Market price has soared within the last three days,” said Magar.
Another taxi driver Padam Thapa Magar from Majuwa-8, Ramechhap, who is currently living in Naya Baneshwar, expressed his desperation to meet his family expenses during the current general strike.
“A time will come when people like me will die of hunger if the general strike becomes prolonged. Nobody trusts us loans. The entire family will die of hunger,”
Can anyone tell me how would you feel after reading this report?
