Efforts to find a solution to the 12-day-old agitation by Gujjars demanding quota in government jobs intensified with the community leadership agreeing to hold the third round of talks with the Rajasthan government at Jaipur today. A 21-member Gujjar delegation would discuss the reservation and allied issues with a Committee of State Ministers comprising Energy Minister Jitendra Singh, Home Minister Shanti Dhariwal and Transport Minister B.K.Sharma at the state secretariat building. Gujjar leader Kirori Singh Bainsala had late on Thursday night agreed to send the delegation to hold talks with the Committee.
