Rules For Jobs, Land Ownership In UT Soon, Says Report

Jammu and Kashmir including the Ladakh division was a state before the Modi government stripped the state of its special status and bifurcated it into two UTs.
Narendra Modi government is mulling to introduce provisions in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir to protect jobs and land ownership of people of the state. According to a report in The Indian Express, the Ministry of Home Affairs has already prepared the provisions that will be rolled out in the next few days.

The provisions for protection of jobs include a domicile of at least 15 years when Jammu and Kashmir was a state. Citing a top MHA official, the report said several states already have such provisions that save jobs for the local population. The same provision will also be applicable for admission to educational institutions in the UT, he said.
