Jammu, Dec 3 || Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said on Wednesday that the UT cabinet in its meeting has made recommendations for rationalisation of the reservation policy in government jobs and professional institutions.
Speaking to the media after he chaired a cabinet meeting here, Omar Abdullah said, “There were 22 items on the cabinet agenda today, including the construction of a new Kashmir house in Dwarika (Delhi), promotions of chief engineers in the R&B department and the steps to be taken to revive the cooperative societies in J&K”.
Asked about the cabinet decision on reservation policy, the CM said, “This is the third time the issue was discussed in the cabinet. We had a threadbare discussion on the issue. A cabinet sub-committee chaired by senior cabinet minister, Sakina Itoo, also discussed the issue thoroughly. In today’s meeting, we have made recommendations to rationalise the reservation policy as far as possible."
