"For whom has hartal been conducted", HC asks

Kearla High Court wanted to know if those who had called for the dawn to dusk hartal today against the implementation of the Kasturirangan report on Wester Ghats Conseravtion had infact read the report.
The query was raised by Justice S Srijagan while the court was hearing a petition on quarrying.
"Who all have read the report, for whom has the hartal been conducted", the court orally asked.
Pointing that the hartal had affected the state, the court asked if the government has taken any steps to create awareness about the report.
The dawn to dusk hartal had affected normal life in Kerala with shops downing shutters and public vehicles off the roads.
