Jammu and Kashmir administration cancels government accommodation for ‘darbar move’ employees

Earlier this month, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha had said that the Jammu and Kashmir administration has completely transitioned to e-office, thereby ending the practice of the biannual ''darbar move''.

Srinagar: In a surprise move, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday (June 30) cancelled the residential accommodation of "darbar move" employees in Jammu and Srinagar. The order stated that all the employees will have to vacate their accommodation within three weeks. "Cancellation of allotment of residential accommodation of officers/officials at Srinagar as indicated at Annexure-A to this order who are stationed at Jammu, and cancellation of allotment of residential accommodation of officers/officials at Jammu as per Annexure-B to this order who are stationed at Srinagar," read the government order.
