EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 3: Asserting that the people of Kashmir cannot be separated from the people of Jammu, Apni Party President Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari today said that 149-years-old Darbar Move should resume as the biannual move of Civil Secretariat bring the people of two regions close to each other.
Various deputations today called on Apni Party President Syed Mohammed Altaf Bukhari at the Party Office in Gandhi Nagar and appraised him about issues being confronted by them. Their main concern was about stopping the practice of biannual Darbar Move, commercialization of Historic Mubarak Mandi Palace, issues of business community etc.
Addressing the deputations, Altaf Bukhari said that the Government should resume the bi-annual practice of darbar move as it provided opportunity of cultural exchange, better relationship between the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and boosts financial activities for six months in Jammu City and vice-e-versa.
“The business activities have come down in Jammu,” said Bukhari, adding that the traders believe that if the Darbar Move practice resumes, they will be able to overcome the financial losses they have suffered following August 2019 developments. He urged the Government to rethink their decision and permit the old practice.
Expressing his displeasure over an attempt to convert the heritage site i.e., Mubarak Mandi Palace into a hotel, he said that the deputations which met him have expressed their anger over the decision of the Government.
He said that the Palace which is located within Jammu’s Old City is the pride of Dogras and the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
“We appeal to the people of Jammu to support the cause of the Apni Party for the protection and preservation of historic sites and oppose any attempt to commercialize such places. We strongly oppose such attempts and no one will be allowed to go ahead with the decision which is against the interest of Dogras of Jammu in particular,” he further said.
Meanwhile, a deputation of traders from Kanak Mandi also called on Altaf Bukhari and they had an issue of parking. Another deputation of dentists also called on Bukhari. Meanwhile, a deputation from Keshwan, Kishtwar led by Sarpanch Farooq Krinban also met Altaf Bukhari.
General Secretary, Vijay Bakaya, General Secretary, Vikram Malhotra, and Provincial President, Jammu, Manjit Singh were present on the occasion. |
