In post-Article 370 era, govt lays down new domicile rule in J&K

Live Mint  

The Centre has spelt out the rules of domicile in the Jammu and Kashmir region, opening avenues of employment to non-Kashmiris as well. The release of former chief ministers Farooq and Omar Abdullah signified an easing of political tension in the region and the Centre’s move to highlight domicile rules marks a significant administrative change. Domiciles have been now been redefined as “those who have resided for a period of 15 years in the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir or have studied for a period of seven years and appeared in Class 10/12 examination in an educational institutions located in the union territory”. Prior to the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A, and its bifurcation into two Union territories, it was the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly that had the right to define a “resident” of the state. According to the new law on domiciles, “children of those central government officials, All India services officers, officials of public sector undertaking and autonomous body of central government, public sector banks, officials of statutory bodies, officials of central universities and recognized research institutes of central government who have served in Jammu and Kashmir for a total period of ten years” are eligible to hold and apply for jobs in the Union territory.
