The Uttar Pradesh government has tightened its security arrangements in view of the Jat agitation in western districts. An official spokesperson said Jat agitators would not be allowed to disrupt rail or road traffic in the state. The Supreme Court had directed the three neighbouring states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan to ensure that the supply of water and other essential commodities to Delhi is not affected. In Jyotiba Phule Nagar district of UP, railway authorities have lodged another FIR against one thousand more agitators at Railway Protection Force for disrupting rail traffic. They had already lodged an FIR against 1500 agitators on 19th of this month. Police has also arrested 6 Jat protesters near Kailsa railway station for trying to disturb rail traffic. After removing their blockade after 15 days from rail tracks Jats are continuing their stir in front of Kafurganj railway station in Jyotiba Phule Nagar district. They are demanding reservation in central services under OBC quota.
