Karnataka to Hold Special Cabinet Meeting on April 24 to Discuss SC Internal Reservation

The Karnataka government has scheduled a special Cabinet meeting on April 24 to discuss internal reservation for Scheduled Castes, a key step to fill 65,000 vacant government posts. Originally planned for March 27, the meeting was postponed due to the model code of conduct during recent assembly bypolls. With over 2.5 lakh vacancies in the state, finalizing the reservation is crucial to expedite recruitment amid growing unrest among unemployed youths, highlighted by a large agitation in Hubballi in February.
