Sajad Lone Highlights EWS Certificate Gap in J&K Assembly, Urges Uniform Poor Definition

Jammu & Kashmir legislator Sajad Lone raised concerns about uneven distribution of EWS certificates during a recent assembly session. He highlighted that families claiming eligibility for the EWS quota are facing inconsistencies in certificate issuance, which could affect their access to reservations. Lone urged the government to adopt a uniform definition of poverty to ensure fair allocation of benefits across the state. The call comes as the state prepares to review its reservation policies for the upcoming electoral cycle.
