In Hisar and Jind districts, Haryana Roadways has suspended its bus services following disturbances on road till further orders. Meanwhile, the state government has deployed three companies of CRPF in Jind to maintain law and order. The authorities are trying to persuade the protestors to call off their stir in the wake of the state government's offer to request the centre for a CBI probe in Mirchpur violence. But the Mayapanchat remained adamant on its demand including SIT probe and shifting of the trial from Delhi to Haryana as well as the shifting of the accused from Tihar jail of Delhi to Hisar in Haryana.
