A bandh is being observed in Jammu today on the call given by opposition Bhartiya Janta Party against the decision of the Government to pass the Inter -District Recruitment Bill in the Legislative Assembly and Council today. <br/><br/>All shops, educational institutions and business establishments are closed with public transport completely off the roads. <br/><br/>Only private vehicles are seen plying on the roads. <br/><br/>The activists of BJP were seen forcing the shop keepers to down their shutters in various markets of Jammu city. <br/><br/>BJP has alleged that inter -district <br/>recruitment bill has totally exposed the anti SC, anti-Gujjar and anti-Bakerwal stand of ruling Coalition (National Conference and Congress) partners. <br/><br/>The ruling coalition partners are likely to support the bill in amended form keeping 8 % reservation quota for Scheduled Castes (SCs) across the State but confining all other reservations including that of Scheduled Tribes(STs) within the parameters of the district and the division. <br/><br/>However, the BJP is opposed to this as it wants present system of recruitment in the State, which has been upheld by the Supreme Court, to continue. <br/><br/>It may be mentioned here that the budget session of the J&K Legislature which was to conclude on April 5 was extended by a day for today for passing the said bill.<br/>
