• The state issued a government resolution to set up scrutiny committees for time-bound verification of claims, while Jarange said he would leave once formal orders were in place.
• Authorities pledged to withdraw cases against protesters by the end of September and provide compensation to families of deceased agitators, with officials citing disbursals already underway.
