JAIPUR: The Rajasthan Assembly Wednesday passed a bill giving a five per cent quota in Government jobs and educational institutes to the Gujjars and four other communities agitating for it.
The Gujjar protests led by community leader Kirori Singh Bainsla continued in the state for the sixth day even after the bill was passed.
Gujjar protesters have blocked the Delhi-Mumbai railway track in Sawai Madhopur district and several highways since Friday. Traffic is also held up on several roads in the State.
Bainsla said the community will wait for more clarity on the bill before calling off the stir.
The Rajasthan Backward Classes (Reservation of Seats in Educational Institutions in the State and of Appointments and Posts in Services under the State) (Amendment) Bill, 2019 was introduced by the new Congress Government earlier in the day.
