Srinagar, Nov 22: Jammu and Kashmir government has constituted a sub-committee to take a comprehensive look at the state’s reservation policy. The decision was made during a cabinet meeting, where Chief Minister Omar Abdullah emphasized the need for a holistic approach to address the concerns of various stakeholders.
