\"\"Jammu: The Ladakh groups, including Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), in a meeting discussed the modalities for reserving 95 per cent jobs for locals.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, a sub-committee constituted by the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for discussion on the Sixth Schedule and statehood for UT, among other demands, met senior officials of the ministry last evening during which discussions on many issues were held.<\/p>\n

Sajjad Kargili, an activist who is a member of KDA and was part of delegation that met the MHA officials, informed that it was agreed that 95 per cent jobs would be reserved for locals. It will include 80 per cent for STs, four per cent for the residents of Actual Line of Control (ALC), 10 per cent for economically weaker sections (EWS) and one per cent for SCs.<\/p>\n

He said that the Ladakh groups agreed that five per cent jobs be left open (non-STs) but they should be given to those who are living in the UT for the past 15 years and are domicile of Ladakh. Kargili said that the officials were urged to issue a notification soon so that the reservation could be brought into force.<\/p>\n

The KDA and LAB also discussed the issue of recruitment of gazetted and non-gazetted posts in Ladakh. A decision was taken that all pending gazetted cadre recruitment would be done by the UPSC and a decision would be taken later whether the UT will have its own Public Service Commission (PSC) or will affiliate with J&K PSC.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, no gazetted posts have been filled in Ladakh since it separated from J&K and became a separate UT in 2019 in absence of a PSC. The meeting of Ladakh groups with MHA officials will be held again on February 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
