More than 10 million people in India's capital are without water despite the army regaining control of its key water source after protests, officials say.

Keshav Chandra, head of Delhi's water board, told the BBC it would take "three to four days" before normal supplies resumed to affected areas. Jat community protesters demanding more government jobs seized the Munak canal, the city's main water source on Friday. Sixteen people have been killed and hundreds hurt in three days of riots.

Mr Chandra said that prior warnings meant that people had managed to save water, and tankers had been dispatched to affected areas of the city, but that this would not be enough to make up for the shortfall. Schools in the city were also closed after supplies from the canal were sabotaged during the protests. The army took control of parts of the canal on Monday morning, but repairs are expected to take time. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder who is near Delhi's border with neighboring Haryana state, said protesters who have set up road blocks are refusing to budge. "We don't trust them. Let's get something in writing. Let them spell it out," one demonstrator who refused to be named told the BBC.

Why are the Jats angry?

The land-owning Jat community is relatively affluent and has traditionally been seen as upper caste. They are mainly based in Haryana and seven other states in northern India. Comprising 27% of the voters in Haryana and dominating a third of the 90 state assembly seats, they are a politically influential community. Seven of the 10 chief ministers in Haryana have been Jats. The Jats are currently listed as upper caste but the demonstrators have been demanding inclusion in caste quotas for jobs and education opportunities that have been available to lower castes since 1991. In March 2014 the Congress-led national government said it would re-categorise Jats as Other Backward Castes (OBC), opening the way to government job quotas. But India's Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the Jats were not a backward community. As jobs have dried up in the private sector and farming incomes have declined, the community has demanded the reinstatement of their backward caste status to enable them to secure government jobs.
