J&K cadre was merged with AGMUT last year. Now, UT of J&K has been allotted 70 IPS posts and Ladakh 10. Fewer positions likely to fall vacant with J&K categorised as ‘hard area’.
Areas under AGMUT cadre are divided into 'Regular' & 'Hard', based on topography & sensitivity. Officers posted there get incentives. Arunachal & Mizoram are other 'Hard Areas'.
Officers of the erstwhile J&K cadre will now be posted by central govt and can be transferred to Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram and any union territory.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
