NEW DELHI: Home Minister Rajnath Singh today briefed Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the situation in violence-hit Haryana as well as about the ongoing JNU row.
During the 20-minute meeting, Singh is believed to have told Modi that the situation in Haryana, which was hit by Jat agitation for quota, has improved significantly following multiple action, including deployment of army and central forces, sources said.
The Home Minister told the Prime Minister that most of the blocked roads had been reopened and water supply to Delhi had resumed after intervention by the security forces, the sources said.
Curfew today remained in force in Hissar, Hansi and Bhiwani towns while a four-hour relaxation was given in the worst-hit Rohtak district.
Traffic had resumed on the arterial Ambala-Delhi Highway up to Panipat and officials hoped that as the situation normalises in Sonepat, the onward traffic would resume soon after its disruption due to the Jat agitation which has claimed 19 lives and caused extensive damage to property. (AGENCIES)
