Says coming six months most productive period Chairs first full Darbar meet in Srinagar Lists Amarnath Yatra, tourism peak priority

Srinagar, May 04: On the first day of the reopening of the Civil Secretariat in Srinagar after Darbar Move - marking the first full return to the summer capital in several years - Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Monday chaired a high-level meeting to outline the governance roadmap for the next six months, describing the occasion as a significant milestone.

Addressing the meeting, attended by the Deputy Chief Minister, ministers, Advisor to the CM, Chief Secretary, Administrative Secretaries, IGP Kashmir, and senior officers, the Chief Minister said the coming six months represent the most productive period of the year, with favourable weather conditions enabling maximum execution of development works.

"This is the first full Darbar Move in Srinagar after several years. The departments navigated the transition in Jammu effectively. This time, we were better prepared, having anticipated the move six months in advance," he said, lauding the Finance Department for ensuring the timely completion of procedural formalities.

"Now it is our responsibility to execute. Whether departments are under my charge or that of my colleagues, delivery will only happen if we work together. We all sit here with a shared mandate to meet the expectations of the people," he asserted, urging officers to prioritise coordination between elected representatives and the administrative machinery.

Highlighting key priorities, the Chief Minister said the Darbar period in Srinagar coincides with critical events, including the annual Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra and the peak tourism season, both requiring coordinated efforts beyond security arrangements. "This is not just a working season; it is also a period that defines our governance outcomes. From tourism to pilgrimage management, we must put our best foot forward," he said.

Referring to the recently concluded Budget session, the Chief Minister said the government now has a clear roadmap of commitments to fulfil, calling for efficient utilisation of resources, timely execution of projects, and minimising lapses in funds utilisation. "If we work with focus and coordination, we can end these six months with far greater optimism and satisfaction than we began with," he added.

During the meeting, the Deputy Chief Minister, ministers, and Advisor to the Chief Minister shared valuable inputs, feedback, and flagged key issues requiring attention, particularly in respect of issuing a new Industrial Policy and Mining Policy for Jammu and Kashmir.

Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo briefed the meeting on administrative preparedness, informing that most officers would remain stationed in Srinagar while a roster system would ensure availability in Jammu as required. He highlighted flood management preparedness, particularly in view of the approaching monsoon season, and called for focused disaster mitigation efforts in landslide-prone areas.

He emphasised that restoration works be expedited and that electricity and water supply be ensured across both regions, and urged departments to strictly implement Budget announcements. He informed that the Census process will commence with self-enumeration from May 17 to May 30, and stressed the importance of the digitisation of land records as a key governance reform measure.

The Chief Secretary concluded by reaffirming the administration's commitment, under the guidance of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, to efficient governance, seamless coordination, and effective delivery during the crucial six-month Darbar period in Srinagar.
