Union Home Minister Amit Shah has announced Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Pahari community in Jammu and Kashmir. The announcement was made at a rally in Rajouri. The abolition of Articles 370 and 35A in August 2019 paved the way for providing reservations to deprived sections of Jammu and Kashmir. The Pahari were given a 4 percent quota in the OBC category from January 2020.
Lieutenant Governor- Manoj Sinha
