Discussion Forum : Course of Action - Section 3 (Q.No. 14)
Directions to Solve

In each question below is given a statement followed by three courses of action numbered I, II and III. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then decide which of the three given suggested courses of action logically follows for pursuing.


14.

Statement: There has been unprecedented increase in the prices of essential commodities during the past few days due to the strike call given by the transporters association.

Courses of Action:

  1. The transporters' association should be ordered by the government to immediately withdraw strike call or else they will face severe consequences.
  2. The government should immediately make alternative arrangements to ensure adequate supply of essential commodities in the market.
  3. The government should immediately declare the strike illegal and put all those responsible for the strike behind the bars.

Only I and II follow
Only II and III follow
Only I and III follow
All follow
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the situation demands that strike be called off, either through warning or negotiations, and till then alternative arrangements be made to retain normalcy in supply of essential commodities. So, both I and II follow. Taking extreme steps (as getting the striking transporters arrested) at the first stage, doesn't seem proper. So, III does not follow.

Strike is a fundamental right in Democracy. Its OK to negotiate but making warning that strike holders will face dire consequences do not appeal much to me. In this scenario Only second course of action should be correct.
