Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced the rationalization of the state’s reservation policy following a cabinet meeting, stating the proposal has been sent to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha for approval. This decision comes amid rising tensions over the central government’s addition of more communities to the reserved category, leading to protests from general category candidates. Abdullah emphasized the effort to balance reservations fairly and noted that a cabinet sub-committee had submitted its report in October. Additionally, the meeting’s agenda included plans for constructing a new “Kashmir House” in Dwarka, Delhi.
