Merit in Focus
A cabinet sub-committee in Jammu and Kashmir, tasked with reviewing the J&K’s reservation policy, has completed its report. The committee’s findings will be submitted to the cabinet for further deliberation and decision-making. This development follows widespread debate and controversy surrounding the UT administration’s decision to grant 10% reservation to the Pahari community, which increased the total reserved seats to 60%.
The move sparked protests and criticism from student groups and opposition parties, who demanded transparency and fairness in the reservation policy. The sub-committee’s report is expected to address these concerns and provide recommendations for a more equitable policy. The government has faced pressure to release the report publicly, with many calling for accountability and fairness in the reservation policy.
The cabinet’s decision on the sub-committee’s report will likely have significant implications for Jammu and Kashmir’s reservation policy, affecting various communities and student groups. The outcome will be closely watched, with many stakeholders eagerly awaiting the government’s next steps.
