So how are the students of closed schools going to listen to the President's speech: how can they be compelled to listen to it at home?

Entire country dancing to the tune of one man; ridiculous. All roads closed, entire commercial capital city of the country has to come to a standstill to please one man's wishes.

Don't try to beat the road closures. Stay at home and watch the cricket match.
