To put pressure on the state government, the community wants a 5 per
cent quota within the existing 21 per cent OBC quota in government
jobs and educational institutions.
Highways and key rail routes remain blocked or the past four days.
Sangharsh Committee convener Om Prakash Bhadana told reporters that
they would intensify their agitation if the state government failed to
provide quota to them.
In an attempt to do so, they call for a day-long bandh in Ajmer on Friday.
Earlier too, over 200 Gujjars blocked the National Highway in Ajmer
for three hours in protest.
