Darbar Move: Govt to start functioning from tomorrow 

SRINAGAR: The State Government is all set to start functioning from the summer capital here tomorrow after shifting from winter capital as part of the pre-independence bi-annual Darbar Move practice.

Raj Bhavan, Civil Secretariat and other offices were closed in Jammu on April 29 and are scheduled to reopen here tomorrow as per the ‘darbar move’, a century-old practice under which Government functions six month each in the two capitals of the State.

The Government would function in the summer capital till late October and then move to Jammu, the winter capital of the State, in the first week of November.

Authorities have made all necessary arrangements, including security, to ensure smooth functioning of the offices in the Kashmir Valley.

Security agencies in the Valley have made arrangements for re-opening of Civil Secretariat and other Darbar Move offices in the summer capital. (AGENCIES)
