The Central Government by the way of publications in the newspapers is showing inclination towards OBC peoples of J&K but not clarified the actual position for the enhancement of reservation and OBC status for the J&K backward Classes after the abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A. It is still in chaos and confusion. The Government must clear the status,” Dogra said.

We had a meeting with Inspector General of Police Mukesh Singh as well as Divisional Commissioner Jammu Sanjeev Verma over this issue but no outcome has been seen even after their assurance.
