Uh oh. Well after my last blog 2 days ago, such much has happened -and I'm amazed none of it has reached the UK!
A group called the Gurjjas have started riots all over Rajasthan, parts of Delhi and Agra, over 22 people have been killed, and they have blocked all the roads to Delhi and Agra from Jaipur.
Lucky me, I'm in Jaipur. And now all surrounding states are refusing to send any transport to rajasthan, all trains and buses are cancelled. So cant even get to Bikaner or Jodphur to go via through to Delhi. I was going to go to Pushkar, but they have started fighting there also.
It's been terrible, shops are closed down, tourist areas have been shut, and there has been no help or advice available to any travellers, so a lot of people are stuck here. People are starting fires everywhere, setting lorries and petrol tankers alight, and are blocking up the highways with their dead people, and taking up the train tracks.
The army have been given orders in over 7 districts to 'shoot on sight', so trying to stay in my hotel and stay off the roads.
Have been panicking because all the flights have been booked up to and I fly from Delhi on Sunday night - but have managed to sort things out thanks to Dad n Pearl.
It's been a worrying situation, but will be glad to leave a.s.a.p and am looking forward to getting home, will chat to you all when I get back to UK!
