those injured in the stir last year "but many are yet to get it or have not been given a proper financial aid".

The issue will be raised at the meeting in Panipat tomorrow, he said.

The resolutions passed today included an appeal to Jats "to not play DJs in marriages as it has been seen that youths who consume liquor on such occasions have a tendency to go astray".

Meanwhile, havans (ritual burning of offerings) were organised at many dharna sites today.

Authorities said they were keeping a close watch on the situation, which "is peaceful so far".

Officials said the government is also keeping an eye on social media and strict action will be taken against those found involved in spreading rumours or misinformation on the Internet.

Additional security arrangements have also been made at important railway stations. Internet services were also suspended at some sensitive places in Rohtak and Sonipat.

The administration in Rohtak diverted the city-bound traffic coming from outside to routes via Kharkhodda, Lakhan Majra and Gohana.

Barring the vehicles participating in Jat stir sit-ins, no other traffic plied on Rohtak-Panipat highway from Rohtak Gol Chowk till Gohana.

In Hisar district's Ramayan village, the protesters were camping close to the railway tracks and the national highway.

The Jat leaders spearheading the stir had held the first round of talks with a Haryana government-appointed committee of senior bureaucrats last week.

Apart from quota in jobs and educational institutions, the protesters are also demanding the release of those jailed during last year's agitation, withdrawal of cases slapped during the protest and government jobs for kin of those killed and injured in the stir.

They also want action against BJP MP from Kurukshetra Raj Kumar Saini for his alleged anti-Jat rants.

The main opposition, INLD, has openly come out in support of the agitating Jats and asked the state government to meet their demands. Congress too has asked the Khattar government to fulfil the promises made to Jats after last year's stir.
