Protests erupted in Jammu and Kashmir over a new reservation policy for jobs and admissions. Hundreds of students and political leaders gathered outside Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s residence, demanding changes. CM Abdullah’s son joined the protest, along with National Conference MP Ruhulla Mehdi and opposition leaders. The policy, introduced earlier this year, reduces reservations for the general category and increases them for tribes and OBCs. Protesters claim the policy is unfair and discriminatory. The government has formed a panel to review the policy and said it will follow court rulings. Abdullah promised a fair decision after proper review.
