What happened

To commemorate the passing of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, the Maharashtra government has declared a state of 'productive paralysis.' By shutting down all government offices and educational institutions for three days, the state has ensured that grief is mandatory and administrative progress is strictly prohibited. It remains the only country where the best way to respect a public servant is to ensure no public service happens for a week.
