Earlier in the day, a meeting chaired by Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta took stock of the situation. The meeting was attended by heads of the Central Reserve Police Force, Border Security Force and the Railway Protection Force. They were directed to ensure proper coordination with the state government. Gupta later held a video conference with the state Chief Secretary and Director General of Police.

Four more companies of the Central Reserve Police Force were sent to Rajasthan last night, taking the total presence of the force in the state to 17 companies. These include 11 companies of the Rapid Action Force (RAF). Additional RAF personnel at stations like Aligarh and Ahmedabad had been put on standby, sources said. The Centre was also in touch with the government of states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi which have a Gurjjar presence.
