Even as security forces maintain a close vigil at the violence-hit areas, Gujjars have created a 'tiger force' to check 'suspicious elements' and ensure supply of essential commodities in area under their control.
Youth in their early twenties have been handpicked by the community members to patrol round the clock to prevent any 'security breach'.
"We believe that CID personnel and other vested interests have been frequenting this place. In order to prevent any breach that would be harmful to our agitation, this youth brigade has been handpicked," a senior member of the community said.
