Railway official A.K. Singhal said the Kashi Vishwanath Express and Lucknow Mail were among the trains cancelled. "We have opened special counters at various railway stations for those who want to suspend their journey. The protesters have tied their domestic animals to the tracks and are on a dharna," he said. The protesters also conducted a public meeting near Bharatpur and subsequently decided to enforce road blockades. They have threatened to intensify the agitation if their demands are not met. Yashpal Mallik, a leader of Jat Arakshan Samiti, said: "Our protest will continue till the government agrees to our demands. There are many states where Jats are treated as OBCs. The Centre too should accept us as OBCs and extend reservation accordingly."
