Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that he has given students a number of assurances and the channel of communication will remain open.

Muffled up in several layers of clothing, hundreds of students and job aspirants on Monday gathered outside Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s residence at the posh Gukar road to press for the rationalisation of the reservation policy.

The reservation policy for jobs and admissions was introduced by the lieutenant governor-led administration before the assembly elections earlier this year.
