Darbar Move to Srinagar: CM Omar Abdullah Welcomed with Guard of Honour

Abdullah says the six-month working season will focus on development works, coordination and managing the Amarnath Yatra and peak tourism.

  • On Monday, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah held a meeting at the Civil Secretariat, marking the first full-fledged Darbar Move to Srinagar after a long gap.
  • Under the practice of the Darbar Move established by Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1872, the government functions in Jammu during winter and Srinagar during summer; Abdullah restored the practice in 2025 after it was halted in 2021.
  • Abdullah urged officers to prioritize coordination between elected representatives and the administrative machinery, emphasizing the coming six months represent the year's most productive period for development works.
  • The Srinagar Darbar period coincides with the annual Shri Amarnathji Yatra and peak tourism season; Abdullah stressed both require coordinated civil administration support beyond security arrangements.
  • Referring to the recently concluded Budget session, Abdullah stated the government has a clear roadmap of commitments and urged efficient resource utilization to achieve greater optimism over the six months ahead.
