Jammu, Oct 14 (Kashmir Life) – Omar Abdullah, former chief minister and senior leader of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference, issued a directive to state and central agencies to coordinate the upcoming relocation of the Darbar to Jammu. The order emphasizes seamless logistics, security arrangements, and administrative support to avoid any disruption during the move.
In his communication, Abdullah highlighted the symbolic importance of shifting the Darbar, a traditional administrative assembly, to the summer capital. He urged the Home, Transport, and Public Works departments to prioritize road readiness, accommodation for officials, and crowd management.
The directive comes amid ongoing discussions about the administrative setup of the union territory after the 2019 reorganization. Officials are expected to submit progress reports within the week to ensure the transition proceeds as planned.
Stakeholders, including local politicians and civil society groups, have welcomed the clear instructions, noting that a well‑managed move could set a precedent for future administrative relocations in the region.
