After a lot of persuasion, we finally managed to calm down the relatives and villagers, and now are executing cremation of the jawan. The relatives of Devendar blocked the NH-2 at around 11:20am and continued to sit along with body on highway till 6pm.Speaking to TOI additional district magistrate Satya Prakash said, “The government always gives compensation to families of jawan killed in action or while guarding the country border and at local level. We are also ready to help the family, but Devender’s family is making an illogical demand to hand over major chunk of government (Agra development authority) acquired land to them to build statue and name that area on his name.”“Their protest has immensely troubled commuters who have stuck in jam for hours.
