CHANDIGARH: A Bill to provide reservation to Jats and five other communities in Government jobs and educational institutions was today unanimously passed by the Haryana Assembly, ahead of the April 3 deadline set by the community which launched a violent quota agitation last month.
Meeting a key demand of the community, the Bill envisages reservation to Jats and five other castes–Jat Sikhs, Rors, Bishnois, Tyagis and Mulla Jat/Muslim Jat–by constituting a new classification Block ‘C’ in the Backward Classes category.
The Bill proposes to give 10 per cent reservation to Jats and five other castes in Government and Government aided educational institutions and Class III and IV Government jobs.
It also envisaged 6 per cent reservation to Jats and five other castes in BC ‘C’ category in class I and II jobs. (AGENCIES)
