Govt Offices All Set To Start Functioning From Jammu Today

In Jammu and Kashmir, all the Darbar Move offices including Civil Secretariat and Lt. Governor’s office is all set to start functioning from Jammu today. The Civil Secretariat and other government offices had closed in Srinagar on October 25-26.

Divisional Commissioner Jammu Sanjeev Verma and Inspector General of Police of Jammu Mukesh Singh met the Lieutenant Governor G C Murmu at the Raj Bhavan yesterday and briefed him about the arrangements put in place for the functioning of the move offices and the law-and-order scenario in Jammu division.

Murmu assumed charge as the first Lt Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, along with R K Mathur who was appointed the first Lt Governor of Ladakh, on October 31 at Raj Bhavan in Srinagar. This is the first ‘Darbar Move’ after the state’s bifurcation into UTs – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh — which came into existence on October 31.

Under ‘Darbar Move’, the government of Jammu and Kashmir functions for six months each in Srinagar and Jammu. Security has been beefed up in Jammu ahead of the first ‘Darbar Move’ after the reorganization of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Adequate security arrangements have been made in and around the civil secretariat, Raj Bhavan and other key installations besides areas where government employees are going to stay. CTV cameras at important installations and thoroughfares, including the secretariat, have been made operational to maintain a close vigil, while the traffic police have also devised a plan to ensure there are no traffic jams on vital roads.
