Darbar Move begins as J&K offices shift from Srinagar to Jammu

Jammu and Kashmir's twice-yearly Darbar Move began on Saturday, with 91 government offices closing in Srinagar to reopen in winter capital Jammu on November 2. The 150-year-old tradition was halted by the L-G administration in 2021 over costs, but CM Omar Abdullah restored it. Heavy goods vehicles face curbs on NH-44 over the weekend for convoy movement.
