TWO DAYS before the All India Jat Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti (AIJASS) launches a stir over the quota issue in Haryana, the Manohar Lal Khattar government on Friday announced government jobs for one family member of those killed in the February 2016 quota stir. Sources said the government has agreed to offer appointment letters for government jobs to one family member of those killed during the stir within 15 days of applying for the post. Meanwhile, a Jat organisation – Jat Jagriti Sena – has started staging dharna in Rohtak over the quota issue on Friday. The local administration at many places in Haryana, including Rohtak and Sonepat, has imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC. Sources said several companies of paramilitary forces have already arrived and the police have said that they are ready to tackle the stir.
