Gujjars continue their agitation for reservation, rail services remain disrupted
Bharatpur, May 22 (ANI): The Gujjar community, led by Kirori Singh Bainsla, continued their agitation demanding five per cent reservation in government jobs on Friday. Ten trains have been cancelled and 57 others, including two Rajdhanis from Delhi to Mumbai, have been diverted as nearly 1000 protesters sat on rail tracks in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district. Hundreds of community members blocked and damaged the railway track connecting Delhi and Mumbai, hence disrupting the rail services. The protest has thrown the railway network out of gear creating problems for the passengers.
The protesters have refused to end the dharna and are demanding that Rajasthan government gives them quota in all government institutions within the 50 per cent cap issued by the Supreme Court. The Gujjars have launched two violent agitations blocking railway tracks and roads in Rajasthan earlier, throwing law and order out of gear.
