The country's largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki India, resumed production at its two manufacturing facilities located in Haryana after two days of suspension.

Maruti Suzuki had to cease operations at its facilities from Saturday, February 20 as supplies of certain components were hit by agitation of the Jat community demanding job reservation.

The two plants put together, roll out 5,000 units of vehicles a day. The delay has resulted in a production loss of around 10,000 units to the company.

"The company has resumed production of vehicles at its facilities in Gurgaon and Manesar starting Tuesday second half. The supply of components has started gradually," said, Maruti Suzuki India.

Hissar, Hansi and Bhiwani towns in Haryana remained in curfew while a four-hour relaxation was given in the worst-hit Rohtak district as Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar visited the town.

There was a slight relief for commuters as the protesters were lifting the road and rail blockades in various parts of the state.
