J&K Governor gives nod to bill for reservation to Paharis
Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Thursday approved the J&K Reservation Act (Amendment) Bill, 2014, which grants reservation to Pahari community. The amendment would add a separate category for those belonging to the community. Because of remoteness and ninaccessibility of the areas of their residence, they have historically faced backwardness, a spokesperson said.
