Talks btwn Raj govt and Gujjar leaders fails

Jaipur, June 3: The fourth round of talks between the Gurjjar leaders and the Vasundhara Raje government has ended without any result in Jaipur. But both sides has agreed to meet again.

The government on Saturday imposed the National Security Act (NSA) in 10 districts, which would allow authorities to make arrests without warrants.

The state was relatively peaceful on Saturday after five days of clashes between the police and the Gurjar community, which is agitating for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status, killed several people and disrupted transport in the state.

No major clash was reported between Gurjjars and the Meena community, which is against the Gurjjars being given ST status.

Five people were killed and 20 injured in clashes between the two communities in Dausa and Karauli districts, taking the death toll to 25 since Gurjjars started an agitation on May 29.
