Internet Control

The Rajasthan government on Monday suspended internet services in four tehsils of Bharatpur district for 24 hours starting Monday am as the reservation issue has once again rocked the state. This time, Mali, Kushwaha Shakya and Maurya Samaj have raised a demand of 12 per cent reservation.

Hundreds of people from the society blocked the National Highway-21 (Agra-Jaipur) in Bharatpur holding sticks in their hands. The highway has been jammed for over 24 hours now. Looking at the gravity of the situation, Bharatpur Divisional Commissioner Sanwarmal Verma shut down internet services in four towns for 24 hours starting 11 am on Monday.

The state government has authorised minister Vishvendra Singh and the divisional commissioner to hold talks with the representatives from the agitators.
