Government’s decision to reserve jobs in Ladakh halfhearted, unclear: CPI(M)

No clarity if permanent residence residence or domicile certificates should be submitted, it says

CPI(M) leader M.Y. Tarigami on Wednesday described the as ‘another half-hearted and unclear attempt by the BJP government’. “The government didn’t even bother to consult two functional hill development councils in the region before taking the decision. There is no clarity in the latest order whether those applying for jobs will have to submit permanent residence certificates, as was the practice prior to 2019, or domicile certificate,” Mr. Tarigami said. He said unlike Ladakh, the recruitment rules framed for J&K last year allowed all domiciles, even those who have been living in J&K for more than seven years or studying in the Union Territory up to class 12, as eligible to apply for jobs.
