Protesters from India's ethnic Gujjar community hold sticks as they stand on a portion of the blocked Jaipur-Ajmer highway, in India's northwestern state of Rajasthan yesterday after pelting stones on unseen security forces. Police in northern India issued shoot-on-sight orders Friday to stop arson attacks and rioting amid a week of ethnic clashes that have left at least 20 people dead. PHOTO: AFP
