Jat protesters seeking job quota today cleared the railway tracks which they had blocked, badly affecting train services for a fortnight, but threatened to renew their stir if their demand was not met.
On an Allahabad High Court order, they allowed movement of trains at Moradabad railway station and also lifted blockade on the national highway.
"We have decided to allow movement of trains following yesterday's Allahabad High court order. We have removed tents from the tracks. However, our agitation is continuing," All India Jat Aarakshan Samiti chief Yashpal Malik said.
"We will resume our agitation on the tracks if our demands are not met," he said, adding, "We have been invited for talks by the Home Minister and we are going to Delhi".
The agitation to demand reservation in Central government jobs had begun on March 5 and had thrown train services out of gear forcing the Railways to cancel dozens of trains passing through the area enroute Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
