Once again Bihar is looking to be a terror hub, where Engineers, Doctors, Businessman etc are not safe. Even the Janta Dal United leader is alligedly killed by his party member in old rival. After that a civil engineer Yogendra Pandey allegdly killed & state engineers opposing this incident in different ways. Advocates are also went on strike in oppose of murder.
After all, it is the matter of concern that, is Bihar is again going on the path of Ex CM Lalu Prasad's way, when law and order was the main issue in that tenure??

Understanding the circuit breaker system

2009-05-18T03:07:00.000-07:00

The circuit breaker system is applicable at three stages if the Sensex or Nifty moves either way at 10 per cent, 15 per cent and 20 per cent. This circuit breaker brings a halt to all equity and equity derivative markets nationwide.
10 per cent: There is one-hour market break in trading, if it happens before 1 pm. After 1 pm and before 2.30 pm, there will be a halt for one and a half hours. After 2.30 pm, the market will continue trading.
15 per cent: There will be a two-hour market halt, if the movement takes place before 1 pm. After 1 pm and before 2 pm, there is a one-hour halt. After 2 pm, the trading will stop for the remainder of the day.
20 per cent: No trading for the rest of the day.
Importantly, the percentages are calculated on the closing index value of the quarter (rounded off to the nearest 25 points for the Sensex)। At the end of March 31, 2009, the last trading day of the quarter, the Sensex closed at 9708.50 points.

So in terms of percentage:
10 per cent = 975 points
15 per cent =1,450 points
20 per cent = 1,950 points
Sensex rose 2,110.79 points = 21.74 per cent
