Band /Strike and chakka Jam

I made a phone call to my father this morning to check if his checkup has been done this week. But my mother and rest of the family were very frustrated due to Nepal Banda. My father is suffering from lung cancer and been in treatment with Chemotherapy. He has to do blood test and regular check up every now and then. Kathmandu is completely shut down because Maoist wanted to be in government. They have been trying to get someone at home to take the blood sample and it is beyond the scope to reach at my place. There are no transports allowed.

It is very sad indeed. I am only thinking about my father but how about tons of people like my father who needs such care, treatment and regular checkups? It has been very frustrating, disappointing and being helpless although living in capital city. Politicians are only interested in power not public life.
