In what will be a first for the construction industry, builders are going on strike. On Tuesday (Oct 13), in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane, there will be no work, no sites will be functional, no sales will take place, no office will be open and for a month, builders will wear a black ribbon as a mark of protest. All this is because builders claim that the government is not listening to their problems, and isn't coming up with any solution. In fact, builders also claim that the government has increased the problems. They say that the recent suicide by Thane builder Suraj Parmar was allegedly caused because of policy paralysis on the part of the government.
