Jammu and Kashmir & Domicile

Relevance: Prelims: National

Why in news?

• Union Ministry for Home Affairs (MHA) has issued an order to make domiciles of Jammu and Kashmir eligible for all Government posts in the Union Territory.

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.
