Police on Friday warned arrest of those ”inciting people on domicile law” in Kashmir.

In order to prevent such people from doing so, the police have decided to arrest the people inciting others and duty to identify such people has been assigned to police cyber cell.
The new domicile law that has been brought into effect on Wednesday states, any person who has stayed in Jammu and Kashmir for more than 15 years or studied for 7 years and has given 10th/12th examination will be considered as a domicile.
The government said that all the children of Central government officials, officials of the Public Sector, All India Services, bodies of the Central government, banks of the Public Sector, officials of statutory bodies, officials of the Central universities and research institutes of the Central government who have worked for 10 years will also be considered as a domicile in the union territory.
The children of the people living in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir who live outside the union territory because of work, business or other professionals, and vocational reasons will also be considered as a domicile in the union territory if their parents satisfy all the criteria and can get a domicile certificate.
The law also says all citizens across India can apply for all government jobs in J&K except level four jobs which will be reserved exclusively for the domicile of J&K.
The level four jobs include class 4 employees, police constables, laboratory bearers and assistants in addition to other equivalent posts carrying the same pay scale.
