Raj
Bhavan spokesman denies press report regarding “Durbar Move”
SRINAGAR, SEPTEMBER 22 – The Spokesman of the Raj Bhavan has refuted the report
appearing in a section of the press which claimed that the Governor, Jammu and
Kashmir, has suggested to the State Government “to consider doing away with the
140-year old practice of shifting the capital between Jammu and Srinagar every
six months, and proposing to alternate the two cities as the capital after
every year”. It was stated that the report is incorrect, baseless, motivated
and obviously mischievous.
The Spokesman recalled that some months back Raj Bhavan had received a letter
from one Mr. Rajnish Khosla of Amritsar who had suggested, interalia,
discontinuation of the practice of biannual “Durbar Move”. He said that the Raj
Bhavan Secretariat had forwarded Mr. Khosla’s letter to the Chief Secretary,
J&K Government, for “appropriate consideration” without any other
suggestion. He advised against the motivated distortion of facts which would
cause misunderstandings among the public. Media is expected to play an
accountable and responsible role.

rejected and disgruntled elements who are responsible for dividing the society
on party lines resulting in chaos and confusion among people.

development has dawned in length and breadth of the State. She said that

spread the education in every nook and corner of State.
Lashing
out at the PDD leadership, the Minister said that the leaders of this
party were
misleading the people by assuring Govt jobs ,healing touch and peace with
dignity ,but whey them were in power ,they forgot all these slogans and instead
of fulilling their promises, they arrested the youth, harassed them and put them behind the bars.

Prime Minister and UPA Chairperson at the inaugural function of Railways in
Anantnag, said that the J&K issue is a political one and it should be
resolved politically .She said the Chief Minister even repeated the same line
in the State Assembly. The Minister said that there is a sea change on the
ground level and added under the dynamic leadership of Omar Abdullah a new era
of development have started throughout J&K State. She said that in 1996
when Dr. Abdullah took over as Chief Minister of the State Valley had suffered
extremely, number of school, government building were burnt down and there was
a chaos and fear in the State. But due to active cooperation of the people and
efforts of Dr. Farooq the schools, hospitals and other government buildings,
besides basic infrastructure were reconstructed and a new era of development
was started in the State.

the concerned authorities to pay immediate attention to their demands including
