Five girls had on Saturday evening climbed on a water tank in Jagatpura here and issued a video message addressed to Gehlot demanding extension of the examination dates.

Gehlot tweeted on Sunday appealing the girls to get down, saying he was concerned for them.

जो छात्राएं टंकी पर चढ़ी हुई हैं उनके लिए मैं चिंतित हूँ और मेरी उनसे अपील है उन्हें तुरंत नीचे उतरना चाहिए, सरकार युवाओं और बेरोजगारों के हित में सदैव तत्पर रही है, सरकार के दरवाजे बातचीत के लिए हमेशा खुले हैं। #Jaipur #Rajasthan
