How many Hartals in Kerala in a year? Could a single one of them bring forth any expected/required result? Has a single paise reduced if the Hartal is for protesting against petroleum products price hike? For every price hike, we can expect a Hartal. Now the Keralites are used to it and started enjoying it --- by boosting the sales of Bewerages outlets and poultry farms. Leaders of the parties who declare Hartal claim that it is for the PEOPLE and against the Government; but in reality, the ultimate sufferers are the COMMON MAN who has no other alternative but to die, if he or his relatives fall sick on that day. No wonder if the tourists avoid our GOD'S OWN COUNTRY. (I remember, once a leader claimed that it will not affect tourism and in fact the tourists are coming to our state to see our HARTAL. A very good justification for Hartal !). LEADERS SHOULD SINCERELY EVALUATE THE OUTCOME OF EACH HARTAL OTHER THAN MAKING THE COMMON MAN SUFFER. IT IS HIGH TIME, WE BID FAREWELL TO SUCH A MONSTROUS ACT.

Kerala shouldK do a rethinking to see why there is so much difference in the number of tourists visitng Tamil Nadu and Kerala, inspite of the favourable climate and backwaters etc Kerala have. I feel the frequent hartals are responsible for it. Hope the political parties will realise that they are destroying toursim in the state with their hartals as they have destroyed industries with trade unions.T. M
