Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], March 3 (ANI): Karnataka Home minister, Basavaraj Bommai on Wednesday said that a three-member committee will be constituted to study providing reservation to various communities in the state.

"Many communities including Panchamasali Lingayat, Kuruba and others communities in our state have submitted a report demanding 50 per cent reservation for several positions. Taking cognizance of these reports, the Karnataka cabinet will take a decision to form a three-member committee comprising of a retired high court judge, a social service worker and an administrator," the home minister said.
