Strikes

So I encountered my first 'strike' of the trip and naturally assumed this was some kind of actual strike. Informed that it affected both private and state buses on the route I wanted to take I was a bit confused. It eventually turns out that the strike is in fact civil disobedience and involves the residents of a province blocking the government built interstate roads... probably sitting down as is usual for an Indian protest.... no idea who started all of that or what they were protesting against ;)
