UT admin failed in providing benefits of reservation: Subash Gupta

Early Times Report

KATHUA, July 15: Senior Congress leader and former MLC Subash Gupta expressing his anguish over apathetic attitude of the administration towards the youth of border hamlets by J&K govt said that thousands of educated unemployed youth residing along the International Border (IB) in Jammu, Samba and Kathua districts of Jammu region have been deprived of the benefits of reservation granted by the Union Government.
He further added that the J&K UT Administration had failed to issue necessary notification even after one year, with regard to the identification of villages covered and actual distance from the Zero Line.
Subash Gupta said that the Union Government accorded benefit of reservation to the people living on the IB like those living along ALC, making amendment in the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation Act, 2004. The amendment came into force from 1st of March 2019 and the Union Ministry of Law and Justice notified the same in the Gazette of India on July 9, 2019 as ‘Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment Act) Act 2019’. But it is unfortunate to observe that even after one year of this notification by the Union Government the J&K UT Administration has failed to conduct necessary survey of the villages and issue necessary notification in this regard following which the youth is not in position of availing the benefit of reservation.
“J&K UT Administration declared filling up of over 10,000 posts including 8575 posts of Class –IV category and 1889 of Panchyat Accounts Assistants in the Rural Development Department, the unemployed educated youth living in more than 300 villages, situated close to the International Border in Kathua, Samba and Jammu districts, shall miss the opportunity to get the benefits of the reservation granted by the Central Government,” he added.
He also alleged that Tehsildars concerned have denied issuing certificates to the youth on the plea that J&K Govt has yet to issue a notification with regard to the identification of the villages and even it is not yet clear whether benefit has been accorded up to 5 Kms or 10 Kms from the zero line.
