JAIPUR:

Protest rallies were taken out in Neem-Ka-Thana, Gangapur City, Dudu and Sanchore—four of the nine districts annulled by the Rajasthan cabinet on Saturday. While the market was shut down in Shahpura, effigies of chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma were burnt in Kekadi as part of the stir.

"The decision of annulment of Shahpura was unfair," said Avinash Sharma, convener of the Jila Bachao Sangharsh Samiti in Shahpura. "We called for a market shutdown and the response showed that people are against the government's move... We may also file a petition in the Rajasthan high court against the move."
