If its of any use why the strikes and refusal to use it? So who is gaining with these strikes? CAN speed governor be costlier than indefinite strikes with loss of revenue for a truck/ bus owner? Can any one tell me as to who gains in all this drama or sJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570909563650174021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7848730.post-1160656727778391002006-10-12T05:38:00.000-07:002006-10-12T05:38:00.000-07:00Excellent post and an excellent discussion afterwa...Excellent post and an excellent discussion afterwards!Vivek has raised a very pertinent point on the organization of bandhs.
