10 hrs work 5 hrs traveling daily by train in Mumbai, what a hell life.
BJP government ghatiya ho gai hey abhi.
Why the same is not applicable to government officials.
10 तास काम करणे शक्यच होणार नाही.. आणि या निर्णयावर कुठलाही कर्मचारी सहमत देखील होणार नाही.
सरकारी नोकऱ्यांचे हि तास वाढवा. आणि त्यांना फक्त 10वर्षेच नोकरीवर ठेवा. सर्वांना सरकारी नोकरीचा फायदा जाला पाहिजे.
हा निर्णय चुकीचा आहे... जे निर्णय घेणार आहेत त्यांना कोणी अधिकार दिला हा?
