    Oh..no.. one more hartal in kasaragod. In april there were lot of hartals during those communal violence and normal life was disrupted. So now one more hartal but for another reason. People are fed of these. Whatz d use of hartal?Will the prices go down?...no. People of kasaragod dont want anymore of hartal and violence.. enough is enough..People just want to lead a peacful life..Even if the political parties want to protest why cant they do in a peaceful manner without disrupting normal life.They will never learn and they are never going to change.
