It was a scientific approach while the five day week system was introduced through which we obtained saving in electricity, water, office space, transportation cost as well as reduction in air pollution etc etc. apart from increase in efficiency after a two days rest. Switching over to an out dated system of six days week is nothing but a retrograde step which will not be viewed as a positive approach of dynamic governance. The deficiencies like red tapism should be reduced through prompt utilization of IT and internet facilities instead of increasing working hours. In fact the existing class discrimination and dual standards of timing of parliament and govt offices etc are to be eliminated with a vibrant positive approach. And that is what is the expectation of people while voting for a stable govt.
