Chandigarh: The renewed Jat agitation for job reservation and other demands continued in Harayana for a second day on Monday but on a subdued note. Despite a blistering heat wave, protests were staged at a dozen places in some districts, dominantly in Rohtak and Hisar.

Fifty-five companies of paramilitary forces and hundreds of Haryana Police personnel kept a close watch on the Jat protestors. Home Secretary Ram Niwas said the agitation was peaceful. In some districts, no sit-in protest was staged. At some places, those on dharna submitted memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner and ended the protest.
