All peoples' agitation -- Is it volunteered?

For those living in Hyderabad Telangana related agitations are quite common in the past 3-4 years. Its just a matter of excuse the political drama troop need to call for a bandh/strike. Media hypes that the telangana state formation agitations are intensified by showing some footages. Don't know whats the truth.

The currently happening "All peoples' agitation" called for by Joint Action Committee, government employees of the Telangana region have also boycotted duties to press their demand for a separate statehood. But, how many of them volunteered to boycott the duties? Inspite of the government warning for "No work no pay" clause, how many of them would have volunteered?

Transport - APSRTC reports about a loss of 25 crores due to the last 2 days of strike and Hyderabad had lost Rs.250 crores of business due to commercial trading. All this traffic load is being taken over by the railways to commute in & out of hyderabad and telangana districts. Learnt that even the "Train Roko's" will be organized after 2 days. With that the complete transport system will be at halt in Telangana region. I dont think, whether the private operators would dare to operate fearing the damage of properties from the so called "telangana agitators". With already the petrol price hike buring the common man pocket, if the roads are blocked for petrol transportation in lorries, the ppl que up at the petrol stations.

Industries - The small-medium-large scale industries in & around hyderabad are facing the wrath too due to loss of production. With the transporation in & out of hyderabad already at halt, the required materials for production & other things are not supplied on time. With that the production at halt, with that the daily labour living on daily wages have their lives too at halt.

Education - Even this very important matter is being neglected in all this mess around. For almost 10days all the governement cum private schools,colleges are shut down. Volunteered? With this there is lot of back log created in the academics of the students and may even force the teachers later to push hard or even skip some part to reach the exam targets.

I seriously wonder sometimes, why is it so that the so called "telangana agitators" left out the Software industry. Never ever insisted to call for a bandh to any software company. Is something stopping them? Some benefitive motive stopping them to do so? Are they afraid of something or afraid of somebody? Didn't they find any value addition to consider software industry in their circle of influence?
