JAMMU, Nov 3: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday said the age-old \u2018Darbar Move\u2019 tradition was revived by his government to bridge the gap between the twin capitals of the erstwhile state and asserted that some things \u201cshould not be weighed by money\u201d.
\nThe tradition involves shifting the J&K government\u2019s offices from Srinagar to Jammu in the winter and vice versa in the summer.
\nThe Civil Secretariat and other move offices closed in Srinagar on October 30 and 31, and started functioning from Jammu, the winter capital, on Monday for the next six months.
\nAbdullah said some people always try to create a wedge between Jammu and Srinagar and rake up \u2018Jammu versus Kashmir\u2019 for political advantage.
\n\u201cWe want to address that wedge and remove the distance,\u201d he said.
\nThe yearly move was started by the Dogra rulers nearly 150 years ago. Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha halted it in June 2021, citing the administration\u2019s complete transition to e-office, which, he said, would save around Rs 200 crore annually.
\nThe decision drew sharp criticism from various quarters, including Jammu\u2019s business community, which termed the move a blow to trade and the traditional bond between the two regions. They had been pressing for the revival of the practice ever since.
\nOn October 16, Abdullah fulfilled his election promise by reviving \u2018Darbar Move\u2019, bringing relief to the business community here.
\n\u201cHow important was this (decision), especially for Jammu, you might have come to know this morning. The journey (from my official residence to Civil Secretariat), which usually takes five minutes, took an hour with people pouring out on the streets and showering their love\u2026 Jammu was greatly affected when the \u2018Darbar Move\u2019 was stopped,\u201d the chief minister said.
\nAbdullah said he fulfilled his responsibility by reviving the transition, expressing hope that the economy of Jammu and Kashmir would benefit from his decision.
\n\u201cThe most important thing is that everything should not be weighed in money. The \u2018Darbar Move\u2019 was stopped to save money. Some things are more than money, as it involves sentiment and unity between the two regions of Jammu and Kashmir,\u201d he said, adding that the tradition is the \u201cbiggest way\u201d to unite the regions.
\nBy stopping the \u2018Darbar Move\u2019, he said, the unity of the two regions got affected, and \u201cwe tried to right this wrong\u201d.
\n\u201cIt will be beneficial financially. But everything should not be weighed in money. If the \u2018Darbar Move\u2019 is weighed in money alone, then such decisions like curtailing the move are taken. The economy of Jammu will benefit (by reviving the tradition),\u201d the chief minister said.
\nTalking about the arrangements for the move of employees, Abdullah said as the move is taking place after some time, it will take a few days for the Government to address any shortcomings.
\n\u201cWe have to organise the offices, provide residential accommodation to employees, and make all other arrangements. For that, a special team of officers headed by an additional chief secretary has been constituted to look at all these things. I am very hopeful that Shaleen Kabra and his team will solve all the problems of the employees,\u201d he said.
\nAbdullah said his Government has been in office for only one year and promised that \u201cthings will keep changing for the better\u201d<\/p>\n
