When the truckers go missing!!

It is at times like this i feel that we should have a government like that of China. I am talking about the fuel crisis caused by the strike by truckers and further fueled by the nationwide strike by oil PSU officers. In China, the government is so powerful that such strikes which effect the economy, industries and citizens of the country in general would have led to far stronger action by the government to curtail the problem.

Ofcourse, the Indian government is planning to use ESMA to do damage control. However, the prices of fruits, vegetables and other essential commodities have been going northwards after the shortage started due to truckers strike.

It is quite obvious that we cannot completely have a backup for all type of strikes and agitations that come up in the country. However, It is absolutly necessary that we have some mechanism or task-force that gets into immediate action in such situations to nip the problem right at the bud.

Right now we can only hope that the strike ends soon.......

Just before i close i would like to quote the words i heard from my friend Ravi Shankar ( I dont know where he heard it from!!)

"You can NOT get different results by doing the same thing again and again"

I strongly tend to believe in this statement....more often then not we try to do the same stuff and the problem keeps reoccuring time and again!!...
