The state government has announced reservation for the first time to the people living in the hilly areas thus bringing in a big change in the reservation policy. Due to this new policy, people living in the areas like Poonch, Rajouri, Uri, Karnah, Tangdhar will be hugely benefited. The people living in these hilly areas had been demanding reservation for years but were neglected. The government has brought in another major change in the reservation of backward areas i.e. RBA (Residents of Backward Areas). The EWS and ex- servicemen were also given the place first time.
