Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has clarified that the Cabinet Sub-Committee (CSC) constituted to examine the complicated issue of reservations in recruitment has been given a 6-month deadline to complete its report.
Chief Minister’s statement comes after the government in a written response in the Legislative Assembly stated that no specific timeline has been fixed for submitting the report by the Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted to examine grievances regarding reservation rules.
In a social media post, Mr Abdullah said the timeline was set by him after he met with a concerned group of job aspirants. He said, this timeline, however, was not in the initial order 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.
