Rush Hour: 36 dead in North East rains, Centre notifies new domicile rules in Ladakh, & more
We're building a brand-new studio to bring you bold ground reports, sharp interviews, hard-hitting podcasts, explainers and more. Support Scroll's studio fund today. Thirty six people have died in incidents related to the heavy rainfall in the North East since Friday. Eleven of the deaths were reported in Assam, 10 in Arunachal Pradesh, six in Meghalaya, five in Mizoram, three in Sikkim and one in Tripura. More than 5.5 lakh persons have been hit by the severe rainfall across the northeastern states. In Mizoram alone, over 550 landslides have been reported over the past 10 days. They have damaged more than 150 homes. In Manipur, over 56,000 persons were affected by flash floods. While 156 villages in 23 districts of Arunachal Pradesh were inundated and more than 10,000 persons remained in relief camps in Tripura. Read on. The Union government has notified rules of a new reservation and domicile policy in the Union Territory of Ladakh in response to protests by political, religious and social groups since 2019. Now only those who have stayed in Ladakh continuously for 15 years, beginning in 2019, will qualify as domiciles. This means that non-native persons living in Ladakh will be considered domiciled only after 2034. Besides, the government also announced an 85% reservation for Scheduled Tribes in government jobs in Ladakh, addressing the fear that non-natives would corner employment opportunities. More than 97% of the population in the Union Territory belongs to Scheduled Tribes. Earlier, only 80% of government jobs were reserved for them. In August 2019, the residents of Ladakh lost exclusive rights to own immovable property and get government jobs in the region. This was an outcome of the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Union government's decision to rescind the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution and divide the state into the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
