bandh

I am getting calls from parents that their children are becoming very restless during these bandh days. I tried to talk those children over phone. The question from them is Why bandh? Why no school? Why no shops?
I tried to explain in very vague way that on bandh day no body can go on roads.The shooting question from that side is" How come many people are playing  with police on roads. I have seen in TV."?


Any answers???????
