Jaipur: After the Gujjar called off their 8-day long agitation, traffic on the Agra-Jaipur national highway and a state highway in Sawaimadhopur has resumed while the Delhi-Mumbai tracks have also been cleared.
The railway track is being examined by the railway officials to restore it for the trains movement while the vehicular traffic on the highways has begun.
"Agitators cleared the tracks after the announcement of their leader Kirori Singh Bainsla to end the agitation. The situation has returned to normal and railway officials are examining the tracks," SHO Bayana Mahaveer Singh said.
Police said that the NH-11, which was blocked in Sikandara in Dausa, has also been restored.
Gujjars called off their agitation last night after the government assured them to bring a bill to provide 5% reservation.
Gujjars began their agitation on Thursday last week and had blocked Delhi-Mumbai railway tracks in Bharatpur and later blocked Agra-Jaipur national highway in Dausa and a state highway in Sawaimadhopur leading to the cancellation and diversion of many trains and disruption on road traffic.
Four districts of Bharatpur, Karauli, Sawaimadhopur and Dausa were affected due to the agitation. Members of the community had blocked the railway tracks in Pilukapura in Bharatpur as also the National Highway 11 at Sikandara in Dausa along with a state highway in Sawaimadhopur.
