Mobile internet services, bulk SMS, MMS and social media through the internet (except voice calls and broadband internet) has been suspended for 24 hours in parts of Rajasthan as a major Gurjar organisation has announced to hold an agitation on November 1.
The services will remain suspended from 6 pm on Friday in Kotputli, Pawta, Shahpura, Viratnagar and Jamwa Ramgarh.
The agitation is over the over reservation for the community.
"From November 1, the movement will start in Pilupura because the government is not accepting our demands for the past two years," Gurjar Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti leader Vijay Bainsla said.
He added that the community was left with no option but to hold the agitation as the Congress government in the state had ignored their demands.
The community has been demanding that the state government should include them in the ninth schedule of the Constitution and give the benefit of five per cent to the Most Backward Classes (MBC) in the pending recruitment process.
"Mobile internet services have been suspended in Karauli, Bharatpur, Jaipur and Sawai Madhopur.
Additional police force, including Rapid Action Force and Armed Border Home Guards, have been alerted to deal with any situation," Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Saurabh Srivastav said.
