Gujjars and Rajasthan government has finally reached an accord over the community's demand for Scheduled Tribe status on Monday afternoon. The talks remained "constructive", giving first signs of an end to a violent agitation for affirmative action that claimed 39 lives last week.

Gujjars have decided to pull off the agitations. Rajasthan Mines Minister LN Dave and Irrigation Minister Sanwar Lal Jat along with irrigation secretary and chief negotiator SN Thanvi and the Bharatpur divisional commissioner met 37 representatives of the Gujjar community at a government school in Bayana in Bharatpur district, about 160 km from Jaipur. Gujjar leaders told reporters after nearly three hours of talks that they were happy. Gujjar leaders focused on three key demands - release of the Gujjars held during the 18-day-old agitation, restoration of power supply to some Gujjar-dominated areas and a stop to police raids on such areas.
