Meanwhile, around 500-700 members of the community are present at the railway tracks near Pilukapura in the district, another police officer said. As the number of people on the track dwindled on Friday, Bainsla asked the community members last evening to gather maximum people on the track to build pressure on the government.

Train movement on the Delhi-Mumbai tracks has been disrupted since Thursday evening when the Gujjars began their agitation to demand 5% reservation in government
jobs, within the legal limit of 50%.

The agitation has resulted in cancellation and diversion of many trains passing through the route.
