Panel drafts report on quota in J-K, to submit in next cabinet meeting

The cabinet sub-committee constituted by the Jammu and Kashmir government to examine the issue of reservations in the Union Territory (UT) has drafted its report and will submit it in the next meeting of the cabinet.

“The Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted to examine the issue of reservations has drafted its report within the stipulated timeframe of 6 months. The report will be placed before the Cabinet when it meets,” Minister for Education Sakina Ittoo posted on her X handle.

The cabinet sub-committee was formed in December last year after protests by students outside the residence of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah here against the existing reservation policy in J-K providing for only 30 per cent seats for open merit candidates. PTI
