Agitated over police failure and non-action in the arrest of the accused of alleged rape of a girl of Mangala Village, the villagers at first blocked the Sirsa-Ellenabad highway (SH23) at Village Mangala, when the traffic got itself diverted from other roads, the villagers extended the Road Blockade to Village Bhambour, Y point from where the road from Sirsa bifurcates to Ellenabad and Rania.

No level of persuasion from District Administration and Sirsa Police could pacify the villagers. The road commuters were left stranded in hot and humid sun for long hours, some tried to find alternative escape routes via vacant fields around the Jam site.
