Abolishing Darbar Move in Jammu and Kashmir saves exchequer’s money: LG Sinha

Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has spearheaded a significant transformation in the administrative practices of the Union Territory.

Soon after assuming office on August 7, 2020, he made the decision to abolish the long-standing and costly practice of the Darbar Move, which had imposed a significant burden on the exchequer. Addressing the BHU Urology Update and Alumni meeting at SKICC, Sinha emphasized the positive outcomes of this historic decision. Under the Darbar Move practice, which spanned over decades, government offices would shift between Srinagar and Jammu, necessitating the transportation of files and furniture in a convoy of approximately 270 trucks. Sinha highlighted that this practice has now ended forever, as the government offices permanently shifted back to Srinagar in May 2021.

 

This move has not only eliminated the logistical challenges but also saved substantial financial resources that were previously allocated for hiring 1000 rooms in Srinagar and 800 rooms in Jammu annually to accommodate officers and officials.

In line with his vision of modernization, Lt. Governor Sinha emphasized that nearly 400 government services have been transitioned to an online mode under the Public Services Guarantee Act (PSGA). These services now operate with an auto-escalation mechanism, ensuring efficient delivery and accountability. For instance, if an official fails to provide a birth certificate within the stipulated 15-day timeframe, the matter is automatically escalated to higher authorities, with potential disciplinary action, including fines.

Furthermore, Sinha highlighted the flourishing tourism sector in Jammu and Kashmir, with Srinagar experiencing a surge in visitors. He revealed that last year alone, 1.88 crore tourists visited the region, and this number is expected to rise in the coming year. To accommodate the growing influx of tourists, the Lt. Governor outlined plans to develop hotel infrastructure at the district level, in addition to the existing tourist resorts across the Union Territory.

Highlighting the administration’s remarkable achievements, Sinha noted that despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of developmental projects completed this year is expected to reach an impressive 93,000, compared to the previous figure of 9,000 projects per year. He emphasized that the funding required for these projects remains relatively unchanged, showcasing efficient resource utilization and increased productivity.

Reflecting on the successful G-20 Tourism Working Group meeting held in Srinagar from May 22 to May 25, Sinha praised the local community for their invaluable support, which played a vital role in hosting the prestigious event. He acknowledged that the gathering had gained global recognition, positioning Jammu and Kashmir as a favourable destination for international events. (ANI)
