The Jammu and Kashmir government has announced plans to shift its administrative base to Jammu as part of the ongoing Darbar Move tradition.
The Jammu and Kashmir government has confirmed that it will shift its primary administrative base to Jammu in accordance with the long-standing Darbar Move protocol. This move involves the relocation of key government offices and administrative functions from Srinagar to Jammu for a specified period.
The Darbar Move is a historical tradition in the region where the seat of the government changes between the two major cities, Jammu and Srinagar, typically based on the seasons. The shift is intended to ensure that administrative services remain accessible to the public in both parts of the state throughout the year.
Officials indicated that the transition will be managed to maintain continuity in governance, with essential services continuing to operate during the relocation process. The decision aligns with the constitutional and administrative frameworks governing the state's dual-capital structure.
