    High time the President and PM put a full stop to the strike menace which is disturbing the normal life of the public.

    We hope and pray the coming year will bring about the white van era so that we could live in peace.

    All you government servants say is "What did the country give us.. but never have you given anything back to the country"

    Compare to monthly transport allowance around Rs.50000/=, this annual bonus is nothing, cut down transport allowance is real waste for gov. because most of them getting this allowance come by bus or use gov. vehicles and deposit this amount to their bank accounts.

    Gov should use Military engineers and hire private firms to do repairs and maintennce work, it will teach them a lesson

    President, can we hear your voice for these disputes as same as your concerns over throwing bras in shows?
