Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following statement regarding the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 is/are correct?
1. It gives reservation to people in jobs and promotions only.
2. It is extends the reservation to the people living 10 km from the International Border in Jammu.Correct
Explanation:
Recently the Union Cabinet has approved the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019.
It will pave the way to extend reservation in jobs, promotions and education (so option 1 is incorrect) to people living 10 km from the International Border (IB) in Jammu (Hence, option 2 is correct).
Earlier the benefits were only reserved for people living 10 km beyond the Line of Control (LoC) and affected by shelling and firing from across the border.
The ordinance in no way affected the rights of people of the State nor did it tinker with Article 35-A, which provides special rights and privileges to permanent residents of J&K.
The 740 km LoC in J&K is under the operational control of the Army and 192 km IB in Jammu is manned by the BSF.
However, the reservation benefits are not extended to the persons residing in the areas adjoining IB. Due to continuous cross border tensions, persons living alongside the IB suffer from socio-economic and educational backwardness.
Shelling from across the border often compels these residents to move to safer places and is adversely impacting their education as Educational Institutions remain closed for long periods.Incorrect
