Six-month timeline for cabinet sub-committee to complete report on reservation policy: Omar

Six-month timeline for cabinet sub-committee to complete report on reservation policy: Omar

Srinagar, Mar 15 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said a cabinet sub-committee set up to look into the reservation policy has been given a six month timeline to complete their report.



This comes hours after People's Conference {resident and legislator Sajad Lone said that the sub-committee established to look into the reservation policy lacked a specific timeline.

Abdullah said the committee is working to complete its task in the set timeframe.



“The Cabinet sub-committee constituted to examine the complicated issue of reservations in recruitment has been given a 6 month timeline to complete their report. This timeline was set by me after I met with a concerned group of job aspirants,” office of the CM Abdullah said in a post on X.



“This timeline, however, was not in the initial order setting up the sub-committee. That oversight will be corrected but rest-assured the committee is working to complete its task in the set timeframe.”





The Union Territory administration, led by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, implemented a 10% reservation for the Pahari community. This change increased the total reserved seats across various categories to 60%, leaving only 40% of seats available for general category candidates. This triggered unrest among aspirants from Open Merit who have been calling for a review of this policy.
