Tuesday, January 25, 2011, 18:00 [IST]

Jind (Haryana), Jan 25 (PTI) The residents of Mirchpurand adjoining
villages protesting for a fresh probe into thekilling of two Dalits
today threatened to block milk and watersupplies to Delhi from
Thursday if their demands were not meteven as the agitation entered
11th day.

Buzz up!
Jind and parts of Hisar remained cut off from other partsof the state
as the members of the pre-dominant Jat communityheld protests at
various places, blocking railway tracks andhighways.

Traffic on several state highways and national roadspassing through
Jind and Hisar was disrupted with bus servicesremaining paralysed in
view of the protests, which entered11th day today.

All inter-district roads leading out of Jind to variousplaces within
the state and in neighbouring states, includingPunjab and Delhi,
continued to remain blocked.

The railway authorities had earlier cancelled all trainson
Hisar-Rewari section till further orders due to the sit-inprotest on
the railway line near Ramayan village on Hisar-Bhiwani route.

So far the talks between the authorities and theSarvjatiya Sarvkhap
Mahapanchayat, spearheading the agitation,have failed to yield any
result.

The villagers are protesting the booking of 98 membersof their
community in the case relating to the killing of70-year-old Tara Chand
and his teenaged daughter Suman atMirchpur village in Hisar on April
21 last year.

A Delhi court on January 9 had directed the HaryanaGovernment to move
all the 98 accused from Hisar jail to Tiharprison after their trial
were transferred to a special courtin Delhi following a Supreme Court
order after the aggrievedparty moved the apex court claiming that a
fair trial was notpossible in Haryana.

The protesters are demanding the probe to be held by aSpecial
Investigation Team (SIT) either at Rohtak or Hisar andthe accused be
lodged in either of the two jails.
