Jammu, August 30

The All JK Prajapati (Kumhar) Sabha today demanded simplification of procedure for issuing Other Backward Classes (OBC) certificates in favour of the youth from the community.

A delegation of the sabha, led by Jeet Singh Sangotra, senior vice-president of the organisation, called on the Divisional Commissioner, Jammu, Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, and apprised him of the problems being faced by the youth of the Kumhar community while getting the caste certificates which are issued by the Revenue Department.

The delegation alleged that unnecessary obstacles were being created in issuing the OBC certificates in favour of the youth and demanded simplification of procedure for issuance of certificates to the genuine applicants for scholarship and coaching schemes extended to the students of the OBC community besides getting jobs under the reserved categories.
