JAMMU, Aug 13: To enforce and review the implementation of reservation rules, the state government had planned to constitute ‘Enforcement Committee’ from the past many years but still government has failed to constitute such a committee.

According to sources the government has announced certain schemes for the people belongs to Scheduled Castes (SC) in every department besides seats were reserved to give employment to the deserving candidate falling under SC category.

Sources said that to keep on check on proper implementation of the schemes so that benefit of reservations is provided to deserving candidates a need was felt for a separate committee.

While talking to TNI president All J&K SC/ST Retired Employees Forum Seva Dass Digra said that this is very unfortunate that if such a provision exists in the advisory board but the committee for the welfare of the deserving candidates has never formed.

Digra further said that the proposal of formation of the committee is just a eye wash due to which many candidates suffers from long time.

Whereas member of the advisory board Dr Satpal said that we don’t have any knowledge of any such committee as the advisory board never discussed about it.

He further said the higher official of the advisory board never do anything for the benefit of the community they acting only a mouth piece of state government.

Showing his anxiety about the said issue another member of the advisory board Vijay Lochan said that if there is such proposal with the advisory board then it should be implemented.

Lochan added that if the Enforcement Committee is formed it will help us to get information regarding the reservations and other schemes provided by the centre and state government.

“This is our right to be updated for the proper planning of the future of our children” said Lochan.

When contacted Vice Chairperson Advisory Board, Swarnlata said that the Enforcement Committee will be formed soon.
