J&K Government Forms Reservation Policy Panel

• The Jammu and Kashmir government has formed a sub-committee to review reservation in the Union Territory.

• The committee will review past actions, including recent Supreme Court directives, and evaluate if the government’s steps align with those directives.

• The reservation issue has emerged as a major issue in J&K after the Union government added more communities to the reserved category list and expanded quotas in the Union Territory over the past five years.

• The committee will provide recommendations for future decisions to protect everyone’s rights.

• The government has directed colleagues to take necessary departmental actions within their Ministries to fulfill the promises outlined in the manifesto, with a strong emphasis on addressing unemployment.

• The issue of verification with the police department has been stopped, and more relief is expected in the future.
