The people of the community blocked the Agra-Jaipur highway at Sikandara in Dausa and Sawaimadhopur-Sheopur state highway in Khandar area of Sawaimadhopur district where the Gujjars are squatting. Traffic on both the highways has been diverted to other roads and police force has been deployed around the area to maintain law and order, police said.
“Several hundred people blocked the highway at Sikandara this morning while the Sawaimadhopur-Sheopur state highway is also blocked since last night,” they said. We are intensifying the agitation after the government failed to offer any concrete plan to provide the community five per cent reservation under the legal limit of 50 per cent,” said Himmat Singh, spokesperson of the Samiti.
