Sources said since the purpose of Revenue Minister Raman Bhalla has been served with the fresh order of the Union Home Ministry, he has now reservation in withdrawal of the order pertaining to issuance of Dogra certificate. However, the order would be withdrawn once the Union Home Ministry published the order bring entire Jammu and Kashmir under the ambit of chest and height relaxation for recruitment in para-military forces in the official gazette of the Government of India.
