After days of chaos and curfew, Haryana is slowly returning to normalcy today with people coming out of their houses to go to offices and resume daily activities. Curfews have been relaxed and lifted from several places including Rohtak, Hisar and Hansi. The Army has taken control of the Munak canal, so it is expected that the water supply to Delhi will resume soon.
After a week-long violent protest for the demand of Jat quotas in the state, the rulling BJP has finally bowed down and agreed to bring legislation to the next session of the Haryana assembly to pave ways for reservation to Jats.
According to the report, chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar will meet his cabinet colleagues this afternoon to discuss Jats reservation and the future course of action in the state.
The Railway ministry has started working in restoring the tracks which were badly hit during the agitation. The protesters had ruined the railway tracks at various places.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court slammed Delhi government on petition seeking the supply of water to the national capital.
“You people instead of solving the problem at government- to-government level are moving to Supreme Court. You want order from the Supreme Court. You want everything on the platter…You ministers are sitting in the court instead of going to the field. You rest in AC chambers and you want order from the court,” a bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his gratitude after the army took control of the munak canal.
“Thank u army, thank u centre for securing munak canal back. Great relief for delhi,” tweeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
