RSS holds ‘chakka jam’ in Jaipur against temple shifting

"Barring emergency services, <g data-gr-id="17">chakka</g> jam was observed at 85 locations in the city as supporters and RSS <g data-gr-id="18">sevak</g> (activists) stopped the movement of all vehicles from 9 am", a senior official of Police Commissioner office said.

"So far it is incident free as many organisations were supporting the <g data-gr-id="28">chakka</g> jam", the cop said. Office goers, however, had a tough time as they have to report to their offices at 9 to 10 am, while attendance in school was very thin as school buses avoided to run their vehicles as a precautionary measures, the official said.

The first hour of Chakka jam was a great success as people supported it, markets were remained closed and no vehicle was <g data-gr-id="31">plying</g> so far barring emergency services, Badri Narayan Choudhary, convenor of Mandi Bachao Sangarsh Samiti and senior RSS <g data-gr-id="30">funtionary</g>, told PTI here. Over one hundred <g data-gr-id="32">swayam</g> <g data-gr-id="33">sevak</g> were deployed at 85 points in <g data-gr-id="24">entire</g> state capital to hold <g data-gr-id="34">chakka</g> jam, Choudhary said, adding Chakka Jam is for two hours from 9 am to 11 am to mark the protest.
