J&K CM Omar Abdullah Saturday said that the Cabinet sub-committee formed last year to look into the grievances against the current reservation policy in recruitments will submit its report within six months. In a post on X, the CM said, “the Cabinet sub-committee constituted to examine the complicated issue of reservation 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.” “This timeline, however, was not in the initial order for 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,’’ he added. Earlier in the day, the J&K government, in a written reply to a question by People’s Conference president Sajad Gani Lone, had told the Assembly that no deadline had been set for the three-member sub-committee to submit its report. Lone said the system is “rigged against the Kahsmiri-speaking population” and against ST and EWS in the Kashmir region.
