Centre Revises Domicile Rule To All J&K Govt Posts

• The Union home ministry amended the new domicile rule for J&K issued this week that had triggered howls of protest in the Kashmir valley. 
• In its final form, only domiciled residents of J&K will be eligible to apply for recruitment in the union territory.
• In the earlier version notified on Tuesday evening, the home ministry had reserved only subordinate posts for the domiciled residents. 
• For other jobs under the UT, people from any part of the country could apply.
• The new order issued a little before midnight makes jobs in the UT administration out of bounds for non-residents.
