Darbar Move: CM Omar Abdullah walks to office as JK govt starts functioning from Jammu

JAMMU: (Nov 3) Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday left his official residence on foot for his office at the Civil Secretariat here, marking the resumption of the biannual 'Darbar Move' after a gap of four years.

As he walked through Residency Road and Raghunath Bazar, various trader associations, including Jammu Chamber of Commerce and Industry, accorded him a grand welcome and lauded his decision to revive the age-old tradition that was halted in 2021.

The 'Darbar Move' involves shifting the Jammu and Kashmir government's offices between Srinagar and Jammu with the changing seasons
