Enact law to ban hartal
2012-05-04
[Bangla Daily Star] The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) yesterday demanded a law to ban hartal
... a peculiarly Bangla combination of a general strike and a riot, used by both major political groups in lieu of actual governance ...
, considering the loss it inflicts on the country's economy.
A bit late, but at least they're figuring it out over there in the former East Pakistan. In the former West P. they're still clueless.
"The government should enact a law banning hartal. Hartal impacts negatively on the economy," FBCCI President AK Azad told The Daily Star after a meeting of the FBCCI governing council at its office in the capital's Motijheel.

The meeting was organised to discuss the current political situation and the economy.

The FBCCI held the discussion a day after a meeting of top business leaders on hartal and economy at Westin Hotel in Dhaka.

#1  Hartal: general strike against all public and private businesses and operations. A general shutting down of the entire economy to make a point and get a demand fulfilled.
