Jat leader said that though we do not want to harass the public, we are left with no option to make our voice heard. We would block various rail tracks and important national highways in Hisar district. After Rohtak, Jhajjar, Sonipat and Jind, Jats of Hisar district on Wednesday (17 February 2016) blocked the Sirsa-Delhi national highway-10 near the under-construction toll plaza in Ramayan village which is about 2km from Mayyar. Jats also blocked the railway track after holding meetings with other village youths. As Jat protesters started blocking the railway and national highway, the Hisar police was seen managing distance about 5kms from the dharna spot.

Jats agitating for quotas in government jobs and colleges halted water supply to the nation’s capital (Delhi) through the 102km-long Munak canal, even as the army conducted flag marches in Rohtak, one of the three districts under curfew. The Munak canal supplies 80 million gallons of water a day Delhi via water treatment plants in the capital. The army, called out in nine districts, had to use helicopters to reach some areas of Rohtak where agitators had cut off road links. The army carried out a flag march in Hisar and cleared rail and road blockades, but the agitators continued to treat in arson and violence. Protesters had targeted private vehicles, buildings housing offices, including two toll plazas at Hansi in Hissar district and near Rohtak, both located on the Delhi-Hisar-Fazilka National Highway.
