DOMICILES OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR

About:

• The Central government has amended its two-day-old order and reserved all jobs in Jammu and Kashmir for the domiciles of the Union territory -- people who have stayed there for at least 15 years.
  
  
• On 01.04.2020, while laying down the rules for domiciles, the government had reserved jobs up to group 4 only.
  
  
• Level four jobs include the lower constabulary, junior assistants and entry level non-gazetted jobs.
  
  
• However, following angry reactions from local political parties, an amended gazette notification -- titled the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Adaptation of State Laws) Order-2020 -- was put out on 03.04.2020 night, reserving jobs for the domiciles of the UT.
