Rail traffic suffers as Gujjar anger boils over
New Delhi, December 22, dhns:
The decision of the Gujjar leaders to intensify the ongoing
pro-reservation agitation across Rajasthan after an adverse decision
in the High Court may hit rail traffic on Mumbai-Delhi track in a big
way.
With Railways having already diverted 28 trains from Tuesday and
cancelled a few short distance trains on Bharatpur section, the
ministry is trying hard to maintain traffic on this track which
connects western India to central and north India.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Gujjar Arakshan Sangharsha Samiti chief Kirori
Singh Bainsla reacted sharply on the High Court verdict against the
five per cent reservation given by the state government, and announced
a further rail and road blockade. He has given a call to stop milk
supply to the national capital.
The diverted trains which have adopted alternative routes include
important trains like Mumbai Central-New Delhi Rajdhani Express,
Mumbai Central-Hazrat Nizamuddin August kranti Rajdhani Express,
Pune-Hazrat Nizamuddin Duranto Express, Bandra Terminus-Amritsar
Pashchim Express and Mumbai Central-Amritsar Golden Temple Mail.
The number of Gujjars blocking rail track since Monday in Pilupura
village near Bayana in Bharatpur district, 173km from Jaipur is
swelling and other rail routes are also facing the threat of blockade.
The Bandra Terminus-Gorakhpur Avadh Express & the Bandra
Terminus-Dehradun Express trains have been diverted to run via Sawai
Madhopur-Jaipur-Rewari stations.
No special quota, rules HC
A Division Bench of the Rajasthan High Court on Wednesday held that
Gujjars could not be given special reservation in government jobs,
reports PTI from Jaipur. Chief Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Mahesh
Bhagwati held that Gujjars cannot be given special reservation.
