STORYLINE:
Indian government forces secured a canal in Haryana on Monday that provides 60 percent of New Delhi's water needs, after it was damaged by protesters demonstrating for government benefits.
New Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said engineers were repairing portions of a reservoir damaged by protesters over the past few days.
The move came as authorities in the north Indian state began lifting a curfew in key towns and protesters have removed roadblocks after clashes left 12 people dead during the demonstrations.
Police say the situation is improving in Rohtak district, which bore the brunt of attacks by the protesters in the underprivileged Jat community, who demanded quotas in jobs and educational institutions.
With the state government accepting their demands, Jat leaders are expected to formally end their protests later on Monday.
