Bill to provide OBC reservation in J&K local bodies passed in Lok Sabha

New Delhi : The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed a bill to provide reservation to Other Backward Classes in local bodies in Jammu and Kashmir.

According to details available with KNS, the bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha yesterday for discussion and passage.

Currently, there is no provision for reservation of seats for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in panchayats and municipalities in Jammu and Kashmir.
