Commercial vehicle operators strike

Two dozens of commercial vehicle operators associations called for strike starting July 24 to protest the Calcutta state (India) government's decision to prohibit operation of all commercial vehicles that are more than 15 years old.

According to Kolkata metropolitian Bus and Mini Bus Owners Association this strake is in response to the state government neglecting the interests of commercial buses and other commercial vehicles owners, who declared unilatural decision to impose a ban on vehicles that are over 15 years old. The stike is indefinite and it has been called under the slogan of saving the commercial vehicle committee. It will start all across West Bengal July 24 and continue for an indefinite period. The strike participants intend to send the letter telling about their demands to the state Transport Minister Subhas Chakraborty.

Last year the Calcutta High Court ruled out the ban of the commercial vehicles that are over 15 years old from Kolkata and its ajacent area including locations of the north and south 24-Parganas, Howrah and Hooghly district. With the time passing afte the court order the ban was postponed until the end of July this year upon the government's request. Now the ban was confirmed by the state Transport Secretary Sumanto Chowdhury.

In February, President Obama signed the DTV Delay Act, which set June 12th as the final deadline for television broadcasters to transition from analog to digital signals. The President acted out of concerns for the millions of Americans who would have been left in the dark if the conversion had gone on as planned.

The Commerce Department and the FCC have been spearheading efforts to ensure all Americans are ready for the switchover, and great progress has been made in just the last three months since Recovery Act funds were made available. But with the deadline fast approaching, some people are still unprepared, some 2.5 percent of American households, or 2.8 million households.

Here is what the American people need to know about the June 12th switchover: If you currently have cable, satellite, or some other paid-for television service, you have nothing to worry about. You are prepared; you don't need to do anything, and June 12th you'll see no change in your television reception or programming.

If you have a new television set purchased, let's say, within the last one year, those new television sets come automatically with a digital tuner. So if you have a television set a year old or newer, you're prepared; you don't need to do anything, you don't need to worry.
