Mahatma Gandhi first introduced hartal against the British rulers in India, and from then it was established as a democratic right of the people of the region. But nowadays, it has become a panic to the common people of the country. During hartal, sufferers are mostly the day labourers, drivers, hawkers and the common people of the country who are living from hand to mouth. Some offices such as garment factories, media offices, hospitals and other emergency services are open during hartal. People who work there have to attend their offices in time. Hartal makes a very little effect; rather it increases the sufferings of the people. In a nutshell, it can be said that we have no respect for hartal nowadays whomsoever declares it.
