Srinagar: The bi-annual darbar move offices re-opened amid tight security with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah inspecting guard of honour here Monday.
A contingent of smartly -dressed JKAP personnel presented the guard of honour as Omar Abdullah reached the civil secretariat this morning.
Flanked by Director General of Police Kuldeep Khoda while inspecting the guard of honour, the Chief Minister preferred silence and did not speak anything before the media as he straight away walked inside his office.
“Model code of conduct is in force,” Omar reasoned for no-press briefing.
All the state cabinet ministers including Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather, Rural Development Minister Ali Mohammad Sagar, Industries Minister Surjit Singh Salathia, Public Health Engineering Minister Taj Mohi-ud-Din and School Education Minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed besides senior officials were present during the ceremony.
The Darbar offices had closed on April 24 in Jammu, the winter capital of the state. The trend of shifting State secretariat from one state capital to another has been going on in the state since 1872, the era of Maharaja Gulab Singh and devours crores of rupees from state exchequer every year.
A strengthened posse of police and paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force remained deployed in and around the Civil Secretariat— the area where offices of Chief Minister and his ministers are located.
Besides there was heavy deployment of cops and paramilitaries on the fly-over, over looking the secretariat, the reports added.
Omar Abdullah attended the office here for the first time after being sworn-in as the Chief Minister of the state in January this year. Omar assumed charge in Jammu as the offices had already shifted to the winter capital.
