#JAMMU: Airport Director Devender Yadav chaired a high-level meeting with airline representatives and key stakeholders to explore the possibility of launching international #flights from #Jammu.

Discussions focused on potential destinations, including West Asia, Saudi Arabia, the UK and Europe, along with passenger demand, infrastructure, immigration, customs and security requirements.

The proposed initiative aims to boost tourism, trade, pilgrimage travel and international connectivity for Jammu and Kashmir. The existing terminal may also be utilised for international operations after domestic flights shift to the upcoming new terminal.

However, the launch of international services will depend on regulatory approvals and operational feasibility.

#JAMMU: In Jammu and Kashmir the administration resumed functioning from the winter capital, Jammu today, with the Civil Secretariat and other government offices, including the Lok Bhawan, reopening in Jammu as part of the 154-year-old biannual Darbar Move practice.
 
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah was accorded a ceremonial guard of honour upon his arrival at the Civil Secretariat and took the salute as the offices resumed functioning, two days after closing in the summer capital Srinagar. Abdullah conducted a whirlwind tour of various offices at the Secretariat and interacted with officials.
 
The reopening marks the resumption of the biannual administrative arrangement under which the Government shifts its offices between Jammu and Srinagar. Security arrangements have been strengthened in Jammu, with police and paramilitary personnel deployed in key areas, particularly around the Secretariat. Security has also been stepped up along important roads and around vital installations.
 
The Civil Secretariat, which houses the offices of the chief minister, ministers, chief secretary and other senior government functionaries, underwent renovation and facelift ahead of the reopening. Government buildings and residential accommodation for employees were also renovated. Introduced by the Dogra rulers in 1872, the Darbar Move was aimed at allowing the administration to escape the harsh winter conditions of the Kashmir Valley by shifting its base to Jammu during the colder months.
 
The biannual movement of thousands of government employees and their families to Jammu provided a significant boost to the local economy, particularly businesses and markets during the winter season.
