The agitators standing on the highway have put up tents on the National Highway to avoid the sun. Despite the dust storm and drizzle during the day on Sunday, people stood on the highway. From morning breakfast to lunch and dinner are also being served on the highway itself. A heavy police force is deployed about 1 kilometer away from the agitation site so that no unrest spreads.

The arrests took place when the notice did not appear

Collector Alok Ranjan said on Sunday afternoon that in view of the announcement of the movement, notices were sent to 26 people, including Murari Lal Saini. When he did not appear, he was arrested. Last year, the people of Saini community had blocked the road under the leadership of Murari Lal Saini. Talks were held with the government and many of their demands were accepted. The agitators against whom cases were registered in the protests during that period were not arrested. Phule Welfare Board was also constituted. After announcing the highway jam, Murari Lal did not appear on the notice, so warrant was issued and preventive arrest was made.

On Thursday, April 20, Murari Lal Saini had announced Chakkajam, after which the Bharatpur police arrested 6 people including Saini from Govardhan and sent them to jail. After this the movement flared up from Friday 21st April and the people of the society came and sat on the highway at 7.30 pm.

These are the main demands of the society

Now the main demand of the agitators is that all the people including Murari Lal Saini, the convenor of Phule Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti, should be released. Instead of Advisory Board, Lavkush Board should be constituted, in which there should be chairman, members and funds for development, 12 percent reservation was given for the society, because the population of the society in the state is more than 12 percent. A survey of the society should be conducted through the Rohini Commission.

There is anger in Rajasthan once again over the demand for reservation. The fire of the movement has reached the National Highway. Agra-Jaipur National Highway-21 in Bharatpur is jammed since 7.30 pm on Friday. People of Mali, Saini, Kushwaha, Maurya Samaj blocked the highway between Arora and Beri village demanding 12 percent reservation. The police are watching the spectacle from a kilometer away.
